Speech Arts & Drama Group Classes
Group classes are an excellent introduction to the Speech Arts and Drama program and provide a safe, supportive and creative atmosphere which allows both reluctant and eager performers to achieve their best.
Students learn to use their voices: to speak clearly, to be heard, and to speak with expression and energy. Confidence, a love of language and an appreciation for the art of speaking develop as students work in the program.
Our group programs are suited for children new to speech arts and drama, as well as those with experience. Our small class sizes (5-10 children) are designed to suit children of particular age ranges. Children may enter the program at any age, and will find the classes challenging and fun.
