More Info!

In response to our first successful Singing Workshop program in term 2, 2026, Dr Georgia Pike-Rowney is again offering . This is an extension workshop, therefore all participants must have taken part in one or more theatre programs with Child Players previously. 

In addition, Georgia will be running a NEW, limited series of One-on-One Singing Sessions to those enrolled in the Singing Workshops. This is an extraordinary opportunity for our community, providing a way of supporting and extending a love of singing in all children and young people.

Singing Workshops are available for those who have previously participated in the Child Play Program, School Holiday Theatre Program and/or Musical Theatre Training Program.

A New Way to Support and Develop Singing

When young people begin to engage in singing, and begin to enjoy it, many feel that the only way forward is to find a singing teacher for weekly one-on-one lessons, or join a choir. These Singing Workshops offer an alternative model, recommended by Georgia, which focus on developing each child’s natural confidence, their individual musical identity, and their ability to support others. These Singing Workshops are founded upon the philosophies of outreach, engagement, and positive environment imbued in every Child Players ACT offering. Many children and young people need more opportunities to sing in a safe and supportive atmosphere, alone and with others, in ways that protect and encourage their ongoing engagement in singing, develop their musical identity, increase confidence, and extend their range and musicianship.

It is a prerequisite for participants in the Singing Workshops to have previously participated in the Child Play Program, School Holiday Theatre Program or Musical Theatre Training Program. All participants, regardless of experience, can increase their confidence and skill; learn to help and support each other’s singing, and most importantly, have FUN!

Educational Approach

Classes focus on promoting a positive environment where singing skills can be developed in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Students will expand their vocal range, musical knowledge and repertoire in an environment designed to support all individuals. This approach can be particularly helpful for students undergoing physical and vocal changes in their teenage years, or who have experienced performance-based anxiety or lack of confidence. This opportunity will provide students with the rare opportunity to work with two of Australia’s most experienced, esteemed and engaging music educators, Dr Georgia Pike-Rowney and Dr Susan West. Susan and Georgia have over 60 years of teaching and performance experience between them.

The program is designed to support students who have a well-developed skill level by extending their experience through challenging and engaging repertoire, part singing, and vocal range development. Students with less singing experience are supported by others to build confidence and develop their vocal strength and individual musical identity.
