Songtime Theatre Arts was founded in 1989 as a part time centre of excellence in training children in all aspects of the entertainment industry.

From the outset we believed that children should be trained as professionals by professionals and that from day one the students should understand the dedication and hard work required to maintain a career in this industry. We believe the more opportunities offered to students, the wider the choice of options in the work place. This has set the standard for future generations and is now widely recognized throughout the Entertainment Industry.

The training at Songtime Theatre Arts ensures that our students always keep the highest standard of skill in their art and that they gain an understanding of the basic concept of entertainment.

Our pupils are performers whose careers can be expected to advance them into an industry which is continually changing and forever seeking new media outlets. Under our professional teaching faculty experience and understanding of the needs of the industry are second to none, this has always been our mission which has gained us our outstanding success.

A career in the entertainment industry is not so much a job as a way of life which demands very special qualities in those who join it. A career where one will work with relatively small groups of people very intensively for periods which may range from a few hours for some commercial work to a couple of years for West End shows and television series requires social skills of the highest order.

To be able to cope with success and rejection with equal clarity is a very special life skill - best learned when young and in the company of others for whom the experience is 'normal'. Self belief and confidence with an accurate appreciation of one's strengths and weaknesses is an essential quality best developed by the regular setting and achievement of achievable goals by pupils.

Songtime Theatre Arts continues to grow and flourish and is committed to giving access to the performing arts to as many people as possible via a full range of productions at our various centres in and around London and the Home Counties.
