ELITE MUSICAL THEATRE - The Performance Pathway
PRIVATE SINGING LESSONS
Private Singing lessons will be perfect for students wanting to gain confidence in a private setting as well as challenge themselves and/or commence their vocal pathway. Students will continue to work on vocal techniques, how to use their diaphragm correctly, stay in key and use correct diction as well as advanced techniques like timbre and intonation.
Our professional team of teachers will choose the most appropriate songs to focus on, taking into account age appropriateness, vocal ability and the area of your vocal technique they may be focusing on improving.
Private singing students will work towards an in house performance during the year and/or theatre performance if Toepaz can secure a venue!
Private Acting lessons can be used for students auditioning for school musicals or professional, last-minute auditions, TVCs and to work on specific repertoire which can include monologues and script work.
ACTING CLASSES - New on 2025
Our brand new addition in 2025!!! Come and study acting more depth in 2025 which will help all aspects of your future performances!
Acting classes at Toepaz will give students the confidence and build the resilience to learn skills in all elements of drama with a strong focus on how to audition and all the skills to apply within an audition that will help students gain the knowledge to properly analyse, break down and create a character.
Students will work on technique, creativeness and structured scripts using skills such as character development, script work and voice and physical exercises.
Toepaz will hold, twice a year, an in house performance, allowing students to showcase skills they have learned in a studio environment where you rely on their own abilities and the trust of those around them.
The skills students will learn will help future life skills such as for interviews, self tape preparation and future auditions as students will have a truer understanding of characterisation, how they lived and their background.
MUSICAL THEATRE
Toepaz will offer our very popular Musical Theatre classes which is a form of theatrical performance that combines singing, spoken dialogue, dancing and acting. The classes include basic vocal training and dance warm ups. Students will learn script work and a choreographed song and dance routine for the end of year concert.
THE INDUSTRY PROGRAM
Introduction to Pre-Professional Training
Our Industry Program is the perfect addition for students who are genuinely considering pursuing a career in the performing arts industry. With the industry continuously adapting this means that Toepaz does too! This program will give our elite students who are passionate about their craft an extra push and to be surrounded by like minded students who aspire the same goals, as well as an insight into full-time training and what they might be able to expect before pursuing full time. All students will continue to have the guidance and support from their mentors whilst challenging them in all areas of dance and the performing arts.
There will be a high expectation on commitment, attendance and maturity as we prepare our students for their next steps into the industry.
In 2025 we will be looking to keep it as a small group of like-minded, committed and serious students who want to continue to challenge themselves and pursue a genuine career in the performing arts.
