The classes provide a fun, casual and comfortable atmosphere for children to explore their creativity and talents. Marjorie herself, and her staff are musically trained teachers help children realize their own musical abilities, while providing each child a foundation and stepping stone to become confident young adults with high self-esteems. For those children who are learning English, Velvetnote Performing Art classes provide additional opportunities and the confidence building skills, to further their efforts to learn the language efficiently and effectively. What better way to learn a language but by song! Understanding that the children themselves are often their own best learning resource, teachers work with the students to choose songs that are popular among their own relevant age groups while still observing age appropriate guidelines. Making sure that the children are enjoying their classes is a top priority at Velvetnote Performing Arts Academy, if children aren't having fun, they're also less likely to retain what they've learned. Our goal is to help children realize their full potential as they become young adults, to help them realize that there are endless possibilities to what they can accomplish and by using music as a tool to give them to confidence they need, upon which they can build their own ideas of who they are and what they're capable of in this world. The performing Arts courses involves learning and practicing warm-up techniques to stretch and strengthen the voice as preparation for singing at the beginning of each class, choosing a song for each weekly lesson based on input from students and earning performance itself, diction and pronunciation, ( for native English speakers and also Non English speakers ), looking after your voice, all aimed at improving presentation skills and strengthening each child's musical abilities, talents and more importantly confidence! At the end of each term a visit to recording studio is arranged, where all children can correctly hear their progress. At the end of a 2 term course a CD is produced for each and every student, and ongoing courses involve performances to promote Hong Kong based charities.
