The Curriculum
-
Start with a song you already love and discover how to bring it to life in a whole new way! In these weeks, you’ll learn fun acting tools that help you tell the story clearly, connect to the character, and sing with confidence. Need help picking your first piece? Reach out to us at info@wdstudio.org!
-
After two weeks to practice and prepare, come back to class ready to explore a new song chosen especially for you. Abby will recommend songs that help you grow and try exciting new techniques. You’ll build bravery, creativity, and performance skills as you learn how to make bold, expressive choices.
-
It’s showtime! You’ll share both songs in a class presentation that celebrates your hard work and highlights how much you’ve grown as a singing actor.
