Winter 2025 Classes

REGISTRATION OPENS OCTOBER 6TH AT 5PM

Welcome to CTAP classes. Our classes are designed to introduce and foster a love of the arts for your child. Keep in mind that our classes all have something to offer to help create more confident performers. We allow you to take the same class or the same teacher twice. At that point we ask that you find another class to take. Please feel free to ask Mrs. Lloyd or Mr. Fazakerley when making your choice. Keep in mind that you need to seek out your class with thoughts on where you really want or need to grow. If you are a confident actor, dance this time. If dancing is your thing, maybe sing or act in some way. We know that you enjoy certain teachers, but all of our teachers are wonderful and talented. Any class that has a prerequisite may be appealed by speaking to Mrs. Lloyd or Mr. Fazakerley. We want to do what’s best for each of you. Our classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Murrieta Church of Christ at 24750 Lincoln Ave, Murrieta CA. 92562 beginning October 28 and 30. Classes are from 4:30-6:30pm or 7:00-9:00pm. Each session begins with a parent meeting on the first day of classes. Showcases for the Fall session are December 16 and 18. The showcase is a time for each class to share a bit of what they have learned. Students will perform on the night of their class. This is a fun event for family and friends that celebrates the end of the session.

November 6, 2023
Let's Sing 8-12: Mr. Danny When you join CTAP, you know there is going to be singing required. There are so many ways to do that. As we become educated in our skills, there is so much more to singing than just having a pretty voice. In this class, you will learn how to use the instrument that God has gifted you in the best possible way. You will learn to listen to other people sing and know where you vocally “fit in” in the process. Ensemble work is the key to good musicals, and this class helps you learn what this sounds like.
