All Ages, Levels & Abilities
Private Lessons are offered to students in 1st grade through adult. Wolf PAC is happy to consider younger students on a case-by-case basis after discussion with parents and recommends students already be reading if they want to begin acting lessons. Private lessons are for kids, teens, and adults, so they welcome anyone who wants to begin! Wolf PAC welcomes all students of all experience levels. Lessons are one-on-one, so it allows their professional instructors to create a curriculum that is specialized for each individual student to best fit their needs, goals, and interests.
Lessons occur on a rolling basis, so students can join any time. Wolf PAC recommends signing up before the start of a session for best availability; however, students are welcomed any time that is conveniant for them. Students can take multiple types of lessons either back-to-back or at different times. There is also an option for longer combination lessons such as piano/singing, singing/dancing, etc.
Lessons are scheduled after school between 3:00 - 8:30 pm, as well as on weekend mornings.
Goals
Every student has different goals, so goals are set individually. One student may want to become a better musical theatre singer, another may want to become a great tap dancer, and another student may want to learn how to embody a character as an actor, and the list goes on! Ultimately, lessons are personalized and goals are communicated between the student and teacher in order for each lesson to help build confidence, gain technique, and strengthen theatrical skills.
Instructors
All Wolf PAC instructors have a variety of theatre degrees and experience in their field. They are experienced performers who have worked professionally in the theatre and/or music industry, and have experience teaching in their respective specialities.
Skill Building
Lessons help strengthen the skills used in rehearsals, and give students time to practive any areas that are challenging for them. It allows for the opportunity to strengthen and enhance skills that are being developed in the other program, as well as explore areas of interest that may not be the focus of the other activity. Lessons serve as a wonderful compliment to other programming by allowing students the opportunity to take a deeper dive into their interests.
Performances
Private Lesson recitals take place twice a year - in May and December. Recitals are optional for students, although Wolf PAC encourages participation so students can share their pieces with the community, and practice the art of performance. Students work with their teachers to choose a song, monologue, instrument, or dance piece to share with family and friends. Recitals are laid back, community-based, celebratory, and a great way to help students gain confidence and allow them to share the skills learned in their lessons.
