Students who take a One to One private singing lesson at Centre Stage concentrate in detail on their own individual vocal technique and interpretation. A individualised tailored programme of material will be put in place by the tutor with the student's voice, interests and goals in mind.
Students can choose to study three different genres:
-Musical Theatre (LAMDA Examinations)
-Classical
-Contemporary Pop, Pock and Folk (Academy of Popular Music Examinations)
All students who wish to take a LAMDA Singing Examination (Grade 3 - Grade 8) will require a private singing lesson. The LAMDA examination sylabus concentrates heavily on acting through song.
Only students in private singing lessons will be prepared for Feis Maitiu competitons.
We also offer Academy of Popular Music examinations which focus on contemporary styles of singing. To read more about these kinds of exams click here.
It is also important to note that all examinations are optional and many students choose not to take a singing exam at the end of the year. The singing exams are often scheduled during the school day which may not suit students, and the organising bodies are generally inflexible about changing times/days, or refunding if the student cannot attend the time/day given.
Adult Singing students - We have seen a huge growth in adults taking our singing classes over the last two years and they have really enjoyed dusting off their vocal cords once again! Time out for us busy Mum's and Dad's is an essential also.....

Students work in a group environment learning the basics in good vocal technique whilst exploring a wide repetoire of musical theatre songs. These students are prepared for individual LAMDA examinations (Entry, Grade 1 and Grade 2 only). Students should be aged 7-12 years approximately. Any student wishing to take a higher singing grade will need to take a private signing lesson.
There is a strong emphasis on 'Acting Through Song' in this class as it is strongly required by the LAMDA syllabus. Attending a singing class can really help build a performers confidence and greatly compliments their overall performance skills within a group class, like Musical Theatre, for example.
This class enables students to develop a good ear for music, to communicate freely with other musicians, and to empower them to become well rounded vocalists.
Students in this class are not prepared for a Feis Maithiu competitons.
At the end of Term 1 they will participate in a singing display for their parents and at the end of Term 2 they will take their Musical Theatre Singing exam with LAMDA or Academy of Popular Music (Either is optional - it is important to note that LAMDA and AOPM schedule their exams during the school day, so it may not suit students to take an exam if they don't wish to miss school. They are also inflexible in changing times/days if they don't suit a student, and they do not refund in the event a student cannot attend).
Maximum of 5 students per class.
NB* Students who progress to LAMDA Grade 3 will require a one to one private Singing Class for 30 mins each week.
