Performing Arts Events for Kids in the Sydney Region

An immersive and engaging holiday program where 13- to 17-year-olds who love music can learn song structure, lyric writing, chord progressions, melody creation and basic production. Working together in small teams and guided by professional singer-songwriter and music producer Sophie Hanlon, participants will create and record an original song in just 2 days! WHAT'S INCLUDED: Two 6-hour Days: a hands-on, guided songwriting and music production journey led by professional songwriter, musician and producer Sophie Hanlon. Equipment and Software: access to industry-standard music creation tools, within the inspiring and creative environment of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Expert Guidance: personalised instruction and feedback from an experienced music professional to ensure students feel confident and supported. Collaborative Exercises: unique activities designed to foster collaboration, creativity, and communication among team members. Group Listening Session: the program culminates in a "show and tell" where each group will get to show the class their finished song in a relaxed and supportive environment. A Recorded Original Song: all students will leave the workshop with their original song recording. WHO CAN ENROL? SongLab is designed for students aged 13 to 17 who love music and want to learn to write their own songs. No prior songwriting experience is required, but it is ideal if students have at least 1 year experience on their chosen instrument or voice. More experienced students who have already experimented with songwriting can take their skills to the next level. Our unique building block approach makes songwriting simple and approachable for all skill levels, by breaking it into easy-to-follow steps. From crafting melodies and lyrics to hands-on production and performance, the process is interactive and fun, ensuring creativity is within reach for every student!

Melody Makers is run by Concord Baptist Church, as a way to serve our local community. We begin at 9.30am with a 30-minute music class, which is followed by free play between 10 and 11am. During the class, parents and children participate in a range of musical activities together - singing songs, listening to a bible story, moving and dancing to music, and using percussion instruments.

Kids Up Front run after school drama classes for children throughout the North Shore, Ryde, Inner West and Hills District in Sydney. Our after school drama lessons for junior students (Kindy to Year 2) participate in a themed lesson performed for each other each week. Our senior students (Year 3 +) develop performance skills in the first half of the year through improvisation drama games and scene work. In the second half of the year they collaborate with their teacher on a group devised piece to be performed at a real theatre. For many of our students this is the highlight of their year as they shine on stage in front of a live audience. Working together in drama means listening to each other and accepting and extending each others ideas thus helping children develop good social skills and confidence in presenting their own ideas. Developing confidence, creativity and communication skills are very important life skills whatever path in life they choose to take. Help build your child's confidence through Drama with Kids Up Front!

Music is so much more than just playing an instrument. The music skills of listening, understanding, creating and enjoying music play a key role in a child’s development and should be experienced by all children. Using action songs, body percussion, story-telling and guided listening activities, our teacher will engage your child in a musical world that can lead to a life enriched by music. Term starts Saturday 2nd May or Wednesday 6th May, and will run for 8 weeks. Open to students aged 3-10, the Kids at the Con classes serve as a fantastic introduction to music class where students are engaged and are free to explore their musical creativity in a welcoming and non-competitive environment. No prior experience necessary!
