PRIVATE LESSONS

If your child is looking for that extra level on their skills, Private Lessons are the perfect addition to their current curriculum. These one-on-one lessons provide your child with a more hands-on and personalized lesson that is completely catered to them!

Private Lessons for More Individualized Instruction

You only get better with practice, and for some, Private Lessons provide the perfect place for even more focused instruction and practice. If your child is serious about performing and wants to enhance their skills as an actor, dancer, singer, or musician, Private Lessons can be an effective part of your child’s weekly schedule.Look below to see what we offer in our classes:

PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION

In Private Lessons, students are able to work directly with their teacher to come up with a custom plan to meet their performing goals.

PREP FOR THE FUTURE

Whether it's building a book of 16-bar audition material, a full repertoire, or general skill progression, Private Lessons can set up your child for success in the performing arts.

CONFIDENCE IN THEIR CRAFT

Your performer will walk away from each session with a stronger ownership of their craft and more confidence in their abilities.

PERFORMING OPPORTUNITIES

Students who enroll in weekly Private Lessons for the whole season have the chance to perform in one of our annual shows.

A WEEKLY COMMITMENT

Although occasional drop-in style private lessons are available for audition prep and such, the best progress is made when you commit to weekly Private Lessons.

PRIVATE LESSON POLICIES

Note that Private Lessons have unique policies that are different from our general class policies. Visit our Policies page to see the details.

Are there shows for Private Lesson students?

Yes! Our Private Lesson students have their own showcase called Stagelight Sings at the Curtis Theatre during the Spring.

More information about our Showcases are sent through our newsletter emails, our website blog, posted on our social media accounts, and also shown in our in-studio slideshow.

Can my child enroll in a class that is intended for an age group slightly older than theirs?

We typically allow for a standard six-month grace period surrounding the specified age limits (except for Private Lessons, please see above information for the starting age). It is advisable to initially enroll her in a class appropriate for her current age group, especially for the first half of the season.

If the grace period exceeds six months beyond the age limits, or if the instructor advises considering a different age group, instructor approval may be required.

There are so many classes my child wants to try, can we do a trial for as many classes as we want?

We only offer a one-time free trial per student. However, we offer drop-in passes that you can purchase through the Customer Portal to try out as many classes as you’d like.

If you’re interested in purchasing a drop-in pass, you can purchase it through your Customer Portal account under “Merch & More!” (drop-in passes are only available during our open enrollment periods).
