Important Notices for Prima

TERM ONE

During Term One our focus for all of Stage Door's school aged classes is on establishing connections and creating a safe and fun classroom environment where we hope our students will be able to relax, have fun and grown in confidence and skill throughout the year. We take time to get to know each other, play games and invest in activities designed to promote connection, team work and fun. We find that doing this at the start of the year is absolutely vital to establishing a class culture and environment inline with our tag line that Stage Door is a place "Where Everyone Belongs". 

Throughout the year our Prima Group Singing Class will work on developing their vocal technique and growing in confidence as they sing different songs. Ultimately, students will perform songs at our Mid Year and End of  Year Recitals (scroll down for more information about our 2025 Recitals). 

Parents and Students are asked to keep an eye on this page, where updates, practice resources and homework notes will be regularly added throughout the year.

2025 Recitals



SAVE THE DATES!
Throughout the year our Group Singing Classes will take part in two public Recital Performances - one mid year, and the other at the end of the year. The Recitals will be held at Stage Door Studios and give students the chance to prepare for, and perform in front of an audience, and show whānau and friends what they have been working on during classes. 

Stage Door's 2025 Recitals are scheduled for the following dates: 
* Mid Year Singing Recital - Friday, June 20, from 6pm
* End of Year Singing Recital - Friday, December 12, from 6pm
 

CLASS NAME MEANING

All of our Group Singing Classes are named after a musical term. 
More often than not, musical terms are directions as to the volume, speed and style of a piece of music, and Italian words. 
‘Prima’ is no different.
In music 'Prima' relates to the first section of a piece of music. 
The English of ‘Prima’ is ‘First’ - an apt class name for our youngest singing class.

When Stage Door first introduced Group Singing Classes to our offering back in 2015 we had three classes running: 
- Our youngest class (‘Prima’, or ‘First’);
- Our middle class (‘Mezzo’ or ‘Middle’), and;
- Our oldest class (‘Ultimo’ or ‘Last’)
