Teaching Philosophy
At As A Star Performing Arts, we believe that learning should be a positive and uplifting experience, while also maintaining structure and accomplishing goals. We aim to encourage students of all ages to find their unique voices and equip them with the tools to hone their individual skills. Mistakes are simply learning experiences, and it is never too late to learn something new.
Students are highly encouraged to laugh often and perform boldly!
