THE WHARTON INSTITUTE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS INC

THE PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL IS A LEADING EDUCATIONAL CENTER THAT OFFERS PRIVATE LESSONS AND GROUP CLASSES FOR CHILDREN, TEENS, AND ADULTS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS. STUDENTS PERFORM MULTIPLE TIMES EACH YEAR AND THERE ARE PROGRAMS FOR EXTENDED LEARNING THROUGH CLASSES AND ENSEMBLES. PAS ALSO HOLDS MASTER CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED AND CHALLENGED. WHAT SETS PAS APART IS ITS BREADTH OF CLASSES AND THE VARIETY OF PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED. FROM ASPIRING YOUNG ACTORS STARTING WITH THE BASICS, TO SEASONED MUSICIANS LOOKING TO HONE PERFORMANCE SKILLS, THERE IS A CLASS FOR EVERYONE. PAS PROGRAMMING INCLUDES INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL INSTRUCTION, AND GROUP CLASSES FOR CHILDREN, TEENS, AND ADULTS. GROUP COURSE TOPICS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS INCLUDE FUNDAMENTALS OF MUSICAL THEATER PERFORMANCE, THEATER AND ACTING, VOCAL TECHNIQUE, AND MORE. GROUP COURSE TOPICS FOR ADULTS INCLUDE SONG AND VIDEO PRODUCTION, ACTING, ENSEMBLE PLAYING, AND MORE. IN BOTH PRIVATE AND GROUP LESSONS, PAS INSTRUCTORS PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION. WE KEEP OUR CLASS SIZES SMALL AND OUR FACULTY MAKES SURE THAT TECHNIQUE AND REPERTOIRE ARE AGE AND DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE.
