My son has been with Tiny Talents for almost a year now, and the change in him has been amazing. He started off quite nervous about going on stage, but he now absolutely loves performing. Seeing him grow in confidence has been such a joy, especially watching him proudly salute the audience after his first time on a big stage in front of lots of people.
Tiny Talents offers so much more than just a fun drama class. Yes, it really helps develop acting skills, from learning how to approach a script and build a character, to understanding emotions and showing them through voice, facial expressions, and movement. He is also picking up the theatre language and technical basics too, like knowing when it is your cue and understanding stage positions.
What I also love is how those theatre skills naturally build important life skills as well, like confidence, clear communication, teamwork, focus, listening, and discipline.
The class is a great mix of ages, and Graham is a fantastic teacher and brilliant with the kids. It is also really lovely to see older students helping to teach, gaining experience, and passing on what they have learned.
I would really recommend Tiny Talents to any parent, even if their child is not especially into theatre, because the benefits go far beyond the stage.

Wholeheartedly recommend HMTS. My daughter attended the Moana Jr holiday camp and the change in her confidence has been astounding in such a short time! The showcase they achieved within just 5 days was fantastic and very polished. I was amazed at how quickly my daughter would jump out of bed each morning ready to attend class each day, if only she was so keen for normal school! 😂 HMTS is worth every penny!

My daughters have attended HMTS for almost 2 years now and have taken part in Moana, Frozen Jr and Matilda Jr. They also take part in the holiday camps and attend the Tuesday development class. If Graham had other classes then you can guarantee my girls would want to go! They absolutely love HMTS and have both made friends, improved their singing and acting, learned new skills and most importantly have been encouraged and inspired by the most wonderful people each and every week. In the words of my my daughters, “My favourite time of the week!”

Murron has just had “THE BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE” at the Haddo Musical Theatre School Tiny Talents summer camp. She shone on stage as a fox with her wee pals learning so much and having a blast while doing it. A huge thanks to Graham and his team of helpers for making Murron’s week full of fun and enjoyment and giving her an insight into performing on the stage.

What a fantastic week at the Gruffalo Camp my daughter thoroughly enjoyed all games, arts n crafts, singing and of course the acting. The show was fantastic especially since it was all done in a week. Can’t recommend this group highly enough. Graham and Co are fantastic with the kids and they all seem so excited to go. We do tiny talents and it’s certainly my daughters fav class by far. thanks again to Graham n co for a fantastic week and look forward to next term of Tiny Talents

Freya has just completed her 4th holiday camp with Graham, Ava and Amelia and she can’t wait for the next one. Her own confidence has come on so much and it’s been a delight watching her grow and develop new friendships whilst learning new skills. After her first day back this week she came out quoting that “I’m back in my happy place.” It’s always a pleasure watching the show at the end of the week (the fine pieces are worthy of a mention here 😉), so much hard work gets packed into just a week to produce such amazing end results. 100% recommend these classes!

Just home from our first HMTS show and it certainly won’t be our last.
Such a well oiled and professional production. The Cast were absolute stars 🌟. Costumes, Set & Props , the effort that went into bringing this show to life did not go unnoticed. Well done Graham & Crew! What an asset to the community. See you all at your next show 🎭

“So tonight was opening night for Frozen Jr performed by the wonderful cast of Haddo Musical Theatre School. A story of love, courage, discovery and kindness. From the stunning costumes, to the incredible stage design and special effects, beautifully choreographed dance routines. and emotive singing, this was a truly captivating performance; just like a warm hug.
This show was so hot 🔥, Olaf melted more than once! Well done to HMTS family and everyone who made the show possible. “

“Because both of our girls are part of HMTS, they were excited to take part in their first camp this October holidays – Hoodwinked. They left each morning full of excitement, they came home buzzing, there was a lot of code chat in the evening and what the children, Graham, Amelia and Ava achieved in 5 days was outstanding. Not only was the show incredible, what we saw were new friendships formed, a group who were genuinely supporting and excited for each other and it was quite overwhelming to see my girls have sass on stage I didn’t know they had! We are looking forward to the next one already – highly recommend 😀”
