ShowBiz Kidz Practice Materials & At-Home Practice

One of the things that makes ShowBiz Kidz so special is how much our performers accomplish in just four short weeks. Between songs, choreography, scenes, and staging, students learn a tremendous amount of material in a very short period of time.

To support their success, we ask families to encourage consistent at-home practice throughout the summer.
The links to each group's Google Drive Practice Folder were distributed via email. If you did not receive that email or cannot locate it, please contact the Education Department and we will be happy to resend the appropriate link.

Each group's folder contains rehearsal resources such as:

• Lyrics
• Music tracks with vocals
• Music tracks without vocals
• Rehearsal videos
• Additional rehearsal materials as they become available

What Does At-Home Practice Look Like?
At-home practice does not need to be lengthy to be effective. Even 10-15 minutes a few times each week can make a significant difference.

Some ways students can practice include:

• Listening to their songs in the car
• Singing along with the vocal tracks
• Practicing choreography using rehearsal videos
• Reviewing lyrics and memorizing challenging sections
• Performing songs for family members
• Practicing entrances, exits, and character choices if they have speaking roles

The goal is not perfection. The goal is familiarity and confidence. Students who spend time reviewing material outside of rehearsal often feel more comfortable, retain information more quickly, and are able to focus on performance details during class.

A Note About Lyrics
As we continue building The Wild, Wild West, our creative team is actively adapting some lyrics and wording to make them more age-appropriate for our performers. Because many country songs contain references intended for adult audiences, some of the digital files may still contain original lyrics that differ from what students are learning in rehearsal.

If you notice discrepancies between the practice materials and what your child is singing in class, don't worry. We will teach and reinforce all approved performance lyrics during rehearsals.

Thank you for helping your performer prepare at home. Your support plays an important role in helping us create a fun, successful, and confidence-building experience for every student this summer.
