Vivace

Monday (timing tbc), 45 min - $140 per term at Stage Door Studios


45 min Group Singing Class for our older primary students.

Stage Door's Vivace Singing Class is a collaborative, supportive, and dynamic environment where older primary children can enjoy making music while building a strong foundation in music theory and vocal performance. We aim to inspire a love for singing while developing essential musical skills for future growth. Through a blend of play-based activities and introductory musical theory, children will explore key concepts like the staff, note values, rhythmic patterns, solfege, and rhythm reading, creating a solid foundation for their musical journey. Most importantly, singers will be encouraged to develop their self-confidence and have fun singing in a caring, and inclusive space.

Students rehearse towards singing recitals in the middle and at the end of the year.

“Happiness is singing together when day is through, and happiness is those who sing with you." 
― Quote from the song Happiness which appears in the musical 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown' - by Clark Gesner

Important Notices for Vivace

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 Vivace 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 13, 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.  
‘Vivace’ is no different

‘Vivace’ is a speed related term, which in English translates to ‘brisky, lively’. 
We thought this a rather appropriate name for our energetic older primary aged students.
