Carley has been amazing with my 6 year old daughter, she has learnt soo much and has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons ... thank you for all your hard work.
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 and her team are doing a fantastic job - our children love their experience with the drama and music classes. Would strongly recommend!
My 7 yo daughter recently started classes with The Performing Arts Institute and she loves it! The staff have been really great in settling her in, and she now can't wait to attend every week. She's even started practising her singing at home! Would highly recommend to those looking for performing arts classes during the week.
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
