Weekly classes in singing, acting, and dance for ages 6-18! Whether you are new to performing arts or are already training in the industry, these classes cater to everyone's needs and abilities. Performing Arts is known for building confidence, social skills, and life skills, which is a huge part of TPA Institute.

Everyone is on their own journey.


Performance skills include vocal projection, acting for theatre, voice control in singing, comedy, stage presence, dance and movement, and so much more! You can also expect to find innovative, fun, exercises that build teamwork, communication, and creativity.

     Carley has been a great help to is in finding a theatre class for our primary school daughter! She's not into instruments - just wants to sing! Unfortunately her school doesn't provide lessons as it would for say trumpet so we had to search ourselves.  Daughter can't wait for her classes and it's really giving her confidence and bringing out her voice!

    Carley has taught both my girls for the last year - lovely lady and really helped improved both girls technique. Very adaptable to manage my child's cognitive issues following an injury as well. Can highly recommend.

     Carley has worked with my daughter leading up to her school production and made a great impact in a short space of time. She is clearly very knowledgeable both as a singer herself and also as a teacher. My daughter performed with great confidence and enjoyment - we will certainly be continuing with lessons with Carley and would highly recommend her to others looking for lessons.

     Dealing with Carley has been an absolute pleasure. She has been wonderful with our granddaughter as it not always easy to inspire teenagers. Carley took the time to find out about her , the things that she liked and to connect with her. It certainly worked because our granddaughter is happy , inspired and absolutely loves her classes. Apart from being an amazing singer and teacher she is a beautiful human being.
    Finding Carley's classes for our granddaughter was one of the best things that we did.   Thank you Carley

    My seven year old daughter absolutely loves her weekly lessons with Carley. The lessons are always fun, engaging and focus on developing an understanding of the core vocal skills, alongside building up a repertoire of songs. Carley is an excellent teacher; she is very personable and patient. It’s been lovely to see my daughter improve and grow in confidence over the past year, while always having fun. I couldn’t recommend highly enough
