For parents
Part blog, part guide. Honest advice and answers to the questions we hear most often, written by Kate from nine years of teaching children performing arts in Perth.
Performing arts in Perth can change a child's life. But knowing where to start, what to look for, and whether it's right for your child can feel overwhelming.
This is where we share what we know. Kate has spent nine years teaching children performing arts in Palmyra, Perth, and the questions parents ask haven't changed much. Is my child too shy? What's the difference between drama and musical theatre? When is the right age to start? Does my child need prior experience?
The articles here are written for parents of children aged 6 to 16 who are curious about performing arts, considering enrolment, or wanting to understand what goes on in class. They're honest, practical and informed by both Kate's psychology background and her years of experience teaching kids in Perth.
