'Young Artist Development'
In Collaboration with www.OnceUponASong.co.uk
We believe that there is no better time to develop as a unique singer/performer than when you’re young, yet there’s little opportunity to either be developed or to perform publicly in this way at that age. The premise behind ‘Once Upon a Song’ resolves this issue. In fact, we have been resolving it since 2004, working with young people from age 9 upwards. However, in the past this service was only available to a select few, it’s only now that we’ve launched it publicly as ’Once Upon a Song'.
What we do is get the young student to learn & perform original high quality songs so that rather than, for example, trying to emulate established artists like Adele for example (which can be counter productive) they evolve their own unique personality & ability. Though we use, and value, covering other peoples songs to further development, we’re not interested in developing tribute acts.
When we feel they’re ready, we get the students to perform publicly. Although we focus on music, we have seen first hand how our work raises self worth, confidence & esteem. Music has that amazing power! Combine that with the feeling of belonging to a team that is working together to a common, creative & very enjoyable goal, & the sky's the limit.
