Your Child Needs To Attend A Musical Theater Camp

By George Wright


It is usually a joy for parents to see that their kids have talent. Perhaps your child serenades you or does a dance to entertain. If they want to hone their talents and pursue acting on the stage in the future, then it is not enough just to send them to lessons. You should really consider sending them to a Musical Theater Camp so they can meet other kids with their interest.

At one of these camps, your child or children will learn to sing and dance, or improve upon whatever skills they already have. They will not only learn, but they will have ample time to practice what they have learned so that they hone their newly acquired skills and keep them for a lifetime. All of this is under the guidance of professionals who have been on the stage and know what it takes to have a career in this very competitive field.

Beyond just singing, they will also learn what is know as song interpretation. This is the singing of classic tunes, but in different ways that are unexpected and fun. They also get plenty of daily exercising through specialized dance classes such as jazz, ballet and especially tap dancing, which is popular on the stage.

An oft overlooked aspect of pursuing Broadway as a career is the ability to audition and act like a professional. You can sing like an angel, but if you get too nervous or have a bad audition, you still may not get the part. The teachers at these camps have auditioned countless times and can instill confidence in auditioning.

Of course, these skills are not the only things that kids do at these camps. They get to do other activities as well. If the camp is held in the woods or similar location, there may be water sports available such as swimming, plus movie nights and instrument performances for those who can play guitar, piano or similar.

Some parents or the kids themselves suffer from separation anxiety, which makes it hard to be way for several days or weeks in a row. If this sounds like your family, you can forgo the traditional overnight camps and find a day camp near you instead. These are indoor sessions where you drop off and pick up your kid each day, almost like a daycare, but one where they learn future career lessons.

Many camps have sessions that are three weeks, but others may go up to four weeks. This may seem like a long time, but it is just enough time to instill the students with lessons, then give them lots of time to practice. If you want what they learned to stick with them for a lifetime, then they really do need the constant repetition that comes with practice.

They also need time to prepare their final performance. This is a big play where all the students get to participate and perform for the parents. It lets them show off what they learned and get some experience in front of an audience. This experience is invaluable and gives them the chance to really shine and get a taste of what their future may hold.
