Speaking Skills and Training for Children

Skills and abilities

That's why good oral communicators do better at school, find it easier to make friends and tend to be more successful in life.

Perform encourages speaking confidently

The chances are that your child spends most of their time at school on reading and writing skills. However, as an adult, you'll know that most of your interactions with other people require you to speak and listen well.

That's why good oral communicators do better at school, find it easier to make friends and tend to be more successful in life.

The performing arts are well known for helping children to speak more clearly, listen more attentively and develop a wide vocabulary. It doesn't take long to see results either. After just an hour a week at Perform, you'll notice the difference in your child.

See how Perform's drama, dance and singing classes help your child with his or her speaking skills.

Both girls love Abi, and her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. Both girls look forward to their classes and their comfort in performing in front of an audience has improved fantastically.

Etta, speaks positively of the class. Considering, she is one of the youngest her concentration is impressive. I really like the weekly themes, such as responsibility and teamwork. I’m sure it will support her growing in confidence in new or unfamiliar situations.

The girls absolutely love Perform! Lottie has just started and was so excited to be able to join in, and Emma-Lily has thrived in this class. It has helped her develop her confidence to be able to perform in front of an audience but also in class assemblies and with her peers.

I love that the classes each week focus on things not normally taught like eye contact and enunciation. My daughter is learning her lines and really enjoying it. Her confidence has definitely improved, as has her interaction with other people.
