My fifteen-year-old neighbor, Maria is blown away by most albums of the talented and beautiful Taylor Swift, the famous young American singer-songwriter! You will always find Swift’s singles like ‘Fearless’, ‘Love Story and ‘Our Song’ playing in her room. Maria knows that her favorite singer used to train for vocal and theatrical lessons regularly, when she was nine and travelled to Broadway to attend these classes. And ever since she learnt this, she too, is eager to enroll into a drama and music class in her city.
For, Maria is one of the many talented youngsters who aspire to be a singer. Besides, she is blessed with another great skill, which is acting. This teenaged girl is an active member of the theatre club of her school, which conducts theatre workshops and hosts play every now and then. So you can imagine how proud her parents are!
But, Maria has to be a part of drama and music lessons in order to hone her skills. You will find several drama and music classes in Doha willing to educate your children in such fields of performing arts. And, just like drama, there are numerous benefits of musical lessons as well.
