How Vocademy helps your child
with much more than singing
When your child comes to Vocademy to learn to sing, you can be sure that we will teach her or him how to do that. As professional educators with lots of experience of working with young people, we are equally committed to seizing the opportunity that our classes offer to help your child to benefit in other areas, too.
How Vocademy benefits your child’s academic study
Learning to sing is an interesting process. It forces your child to confront songs and aspects of technique which, at first sight, might appear difficult or even impossible. Within a few evenings, however, your child will be making significant progress with them and will be choosing to spend time perfecting their performance through practice. After a few more lessons, that song or technique will have been mastered and your child will have learnt a lesson that will benefit their academic studies as much as their singing: that no matter how difficult something might appear at first, it can be mastered with a little patience and a little practice.
How Vocademy helps your child’s social development
Many children and teenagers suffer from a lack of self confidence or a measure of shyness in social situations. As professional performers whose teenage years are not yet entirely forgotten, no-one understands this better than Vocademy’s tutors. In teaching the mindset required to stand centre stage and sing to a large audience, we help your child to develop a confidence and sense of self esteem which will also enhance their ability to present, to talk slowly and comfortably to adults they have just met, to chat naturally in social situations, and to take pride in their voice and in using it to good effect. Even if your child does not go on to pursue a career in singing, these skills will benefit her or his academic and workplace success throughout life.
How Vocademy helps your child relax and enjoy themselves
School and college can place surprisingly tough social and work demands on your child. As well as coping with the pressures of exams, your child may have to deal with difficult social challenges within her or his peer group. Vocademy provides a welcome release from this, helping your child to build another circle of friends with a shared love of singing and within which a strong sense of belonging and relaxation is quickly fostered.
