Voice / Musical Theater

What is more fun than to sing and dance while we’re young! This is where it happens! Our Glee classes are so fun and energizing, full of spontaneous joy and life. Continuous development of the fundamental acting, singing and movement skills of Broadway musical theatre are the focus. Group songs and scenes are staged and ensemble energy and unity are the teaching focus. Projection, diction and stage presence are emphasized in solo work. Songs, dances, monologues and scenes are selected from the broad range of classic and contemporary Broadway to give these youngsters firsthand experience with their favorite works. Ruhala Holistic Arts Center Musical Theatre classes are ideal training grounds for the future Broadway Ensemble.

Sing your best today! We can take your voice and transform it with a very unique approach to singing called Controlled Relaxation Technique.  Nothing replaces the weekly voice lessons that serious singers take. These lessons keep the singer in their best voice, ready to audition or perform, and constantly developing their singing skills. Singing is a muscular activity and we use our bodies in ways to release our voice and free it to open and express ourselves while musically entertaining our audiences. Individual lessons or 10 lesson discounted packages are available. Students are asked to tape the lessons and to practice at home regularly. Come try a private lesson and experience for yourself the many incredible benefits of personal instruction!

The Broadway Ensemble is a wonderfully intense twice-a-week training program for students interested in taking their training to the next level. This program aims to create triple threat performers who excel equally in singing, acting, and dance. It is a well rounded learning experience that opens the imaginations and creativity of each student. Best of all, the students become like a family and have harmonious relationships that often create BFF’s. The twice a week study culminates in Broadway show performances. At the end of each session there will be additional rehearsals scheduled for the show. Although, not required the majority of students in the Broadway Ensemble take Private voice lessons. Often the Broadway Ensemble also performs in special community events such as Silverbells.

Growth and development are essential features of this hard working fun process. All levels welcomed!

Your training definitely works, because it has been so fun to watch all of the actors continue to improve their varied skills during the past three years.  There is some amazing talent developing in this Ensemble!

 Would you like to sing without any pressure or performance? Singing for Joy is a class designed for people who want to sing just for fun. Whether you're a beginner or an accomplished singer, this class will bring you joy. Singers get to pick their own music to sing, or the instructors will choose if the student desires. There will be an accompanist to play the song so that the students have the thrill and experience of singing with live music. The singer also gets to ask for the feedback they want, or to skip feedback if so desired. Essentially, this class will give you the freedom and support you want while singing. The aim is for all the singers to have a blast, be spontaneous, and leave feeling refreshed and renewed. All students in the class will also have the opportunity to perform in our session ending showcase. We will choose group material to learn and perform for those who want to have the experience of being on stage. Come sing!
