Shine your light and find your voice... on and off the stage.
In Shining Stars, we aim to provide young performers with a challenging, enriching performance experience, all while raising money for charity and learning valuable lessons about giving back to the community.
Performers rehearse together to collaborate on a themed, cabaret-style concert, featuring pop and musical theatre music with uplifting and positive messages that resonate with the singers and their audience.
Singers get the full star experience - from a headshot photoshoot, to having their unique biographies featured online and in the show program, and performing with experienced and skilled instrumentalists (including a live band in at least one show a year!).
But feeling special and celebrated is only one part of what makes Shining Stars so beneficial. Singers boost their live performance skills, helping them develop confidence on stage that spills over into other areas of their lives. They learn to work as a team, encouraging growth by using collaboration instead of competition. And, because the proceeds of show ticket sales go to charity, they learn about using their skills to make a difference in their community.
"It had a professional feel to it with the right dose of passion and magic sprinkled in."

FAQs
IS SINGING OR PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED?
No, not at all! We are happy to include all performers, from beginner to experienced.
Can i register for Shining Stars instead of private voice lessons?
Yes! It depends on your goals. Families often approach us for lessons with the goals of nurturing a love of music in their child, building performance skills, and developing confidence. If that's the case, this may be the perfect fit for your child! If your child wishes to master a particular type of vocal technique, perform in festivals, complete exams, or auditions, private voice lessons may be worth considering.
Can I register for Shining Stars along with private voice lessons?
Absolutely! The Shining Stars program complements private voice lessons beautifully. It challenges singers' performance skills, and encourages collaboration and teamwork. It provides them with a creative goal, fosters a sense of motivation, and allows them to learn from their peers in a fun and supportive singing environment.
"The Shining Stars program has such a beautiful community feel! My child could not wait to attend the practices. She was so happy to be a part of a team that was helping other children in return. The team at Ovation Music Studio know how to educate, care, instill a love of music, and pull off one amazing show!"
