While many students just want to take singing, piano, and guitar lessons for fun and enrichment, (and that is perfectly fine with us!) others have aspirations for professional careers on Broadway or in the music business. Many Sing like a Star students have gone on to great success in the music and film businesses. Here are just a few examples of many successful SLaS children:

Dear Miss Tricia
I just wanted to share the good news that my video was featured on the home page at Carnegie Hall Musical Exchange! And I am SO honored – Leslie Stifelman, who is Musical Director and Conductor for “Chicago: The Musical” on Broadway, wrote me an awesome note about my performance:
” Jonah I’m just totally stunned by how great this is and we are all so proud of you. This is a fantastic, epic performance. You are navigating so many things well – just the registration alone is a mountain to climb. Every register was perfect, in tune and with great color. Your breath control (how bout the long note with nice vibrato and tone) your rhythm, your diction, your overall storytelling – you really captured the frenetic energy and essence of what the composer was looking for in describing someone on the cusp of turning 13. I’m tempted to send this to JRB to see what he thinks!” (That would be Jason Robert Brown).
Thank you so much, Miss Tricia, for helping me learn to sing!

We provide performance opportunities with our twice-yearly showcases at the beautiful Strand Theater in Marietta square. The shows are always sold out and they are really fun!
When we are preparing for the shows we focus extensively on performing skills and song presentation. We bring in choreographers who teach movement and stage presence.
Our showcases give your child a goal to work toward in the lessons. With each show, your child will become a more seasoned performer!
