A Super Star is a budding young performer aged 7 to 9 who loves to sing, dance and act, or is ready to learn all three. Many take music, drama or dance lessons at school and come to Sing'theatre Academy to put all three together. Full of energy and enthusiasm, our Super Stars love performing and working as a team to put on a show. Our professional teaching staff guide every student to confidence on stage, from those who already make a show out of everything in life to those who need a little extra encouragement along the way. Many progress on to West End Stars when they turn 10, through to our teen and adult classes and beyond, and are regularly invited to perform in community outreach projects such as Music Fest and Singathon.
At Sing’theatre Academy the academic year is split into two semesters: Semester 1 (14 weeks, Sep to Dec) and Semester 2 (20 weeks, Jan to Jun).
This semester: Movie Musicals Magic
What happens when the magic of musical theatre meets the big screen? Students explore songs, scenes and characters inspired by beloved musical films, taking their cue from favourites such as Frozen, The Lion King, Mary Poppins and Matilda. Material is chosen to suit each group’s age, interests and abilities.
What happens in Semester 1
Developing the skills to sing, dance and act matters, and we dedicate time to building technique and confidence in all three so students can put them into practice when they perform.
Weekly lesson plans
Each week students work on songs and scenes from the semester’s movie musicals repertoire. One week might focus on singing harmonies, the next on a group dance number, the next on vocal projection and character work.
Goals for Semester 1
To strengthen skills in singing, dance and acting, so students are better equipped for Semester 2 when they present a full-scale musical.
End-of-semester showcase
Our Super Stars gather selected performance items from their classes and take to the stage for friends and family at the end of term.
What happens in Semester 2
Our teachers select scripts and stories that feature students equally and that they care about telling. Previous shows include The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Seussical the Musical.
Weekly lesson plans
Students rehearse scenes and songs each week, with understudy and production roles assigned so everyone stays engaged throughout. Skills and techniques suited to each character are woven into rehearsals.
Goal for Semester 2
To turn everything learned into a full musical performance, building teamwork, commitment and stage confidence.
End-of-semester show
Students perform a full-scale musical in our Black Box Theatre with professional set, lighting, sound and costumes, for an audience of friends and family.
