Performing Arts Camp 2021
Join Shepherd Private Coaching for our inaugural Summer Camp Season!
This year we are pleased to offer summer camp for ages 6-8yrs, 9-12yrs, and 13-17yrs in musical theatre. Each camp course will centre around one musical/glee production, and will perform at the end of their session. Participants will engage in a friendly audition process, be assigned a role (or a few!), and will spend their camp time rehearsing their roles, learning blocking, choreography, and music!

Join us from September 13 - October 4 for our Music Makers Series : Build & Play. Our first instrument is the Lyre Harp! Class runs Mondays 4:30-6:00pm in the Performance Studio. All Materials are Included.
The lyre harp is a stringed instrument known for it's use in Greek classical performance, and through later periods. Recitations of poetry were often accompanied by lyre playing. Our lyre harps are 7-string, and traditionally played by strumming with a plectrum (pick) like guitars or zithers.
