The show must go on and it does when students from seven to 15 years of age, with or without musical training or background, get crash courses in percussion, dance and opera and put on a theatrical production every two weeks.

Students who find they have an aptitude for a certain instrument can opt for private lessons - even in electric guitar for an additional fee.
