My years of experience and passion for working with music and children, as well as the standard of excellence that I require, have led me to starting a new adventure! I would like to invite you to join me! "Pied Piper Productions, LLC"
Beginning in my home, offering Private and Group Lessons in Music, Dance and Theater:
MUSIC Lessons (Private 30 minutes/Group 60min) Piano/Voice/Instruments/Prescho
ol Piano/Acting)
MOVEMENTClasses (1-1.5 hrs- Tap/Ballet/Jazz/Yoga)
PiedPiper Players (auditioned Performance Troupe)
The teaching/directing staff will be myself, Valerie Beardsley (Bachelors Music Education: 30+ yrs experience teaching children of all ages as a Music Teacher and Production Director, resume available) and my daughter, Chloe Boggs (Bachelor Fine Arts in Musical Theater:3 years teaching experience in voice, dance, yoga and acting, resume available.) Going forward all my teachers will be qualified in their subject, understanding how to work with children, creating a joyful, safe learning experience. Interns, carefully screened and monitored, will gain valuable experience while they learn how to work with kids by watching me and then my watching them as they lead a rehearsal or lesson, like a true internship. This Internship is designed for high school or college students majoring in Music, Dance or Theater Education, and wanting to work with children. (Please email me personally if you are interested in an internship.) The Pied Piper Players, an auditioned performing troupe with weekly rehearsals, will be available to perform scenes from or full productions of various age appropriate musicals. The goal is to give MANY talented, theater-loving kids the chance to develop their acting/singing skills for lead and ensemble roles as well as a working understanding of the behind the scenes action of sets, costumes and even stage managing. (If you think your child would be interested in auditioning please let me know!)
As my business grows I will be searching for a larger location to expand my offerings to include full dance, music, drama and artistic classes, with qualified teachers, as well as other fun activities and events. I want to bring joy and fun, with a bit of "parental" common sense, into the arts of the MOT area, all the while providing growth opportunities for children interested in fully developing theatrical skills through quality, safe, caring Fine Arts experiences for children of all ages.
