About The Island GLEE Club
The Island Glee Club, founded by Leigh Jane Gibbs in 2013, is a singing performance school for aspiring young singers, providing an exciting opportunity to collaborate with experienced, professional singers and performers. With highly experienced professional instructors, we offer children lessons in singing and movement fused with all the performance fundamentals. Our teachers have solid classical and contemporary training to nurture, support and develop young voices.
For all abilities, children will progressively learn the fundamentals of healthy singing – breathing technique, support, vocal pitch, intonation and flexibility. Also rhythm, movement, ensemble skills and stagecraft. Classes are taught with a vibrant, youthful and passionate approach, engaging students whilst instilling a love of performing.
For children who are born performers, creative and imaginative, we provide an opportunity for them to flourish and develop their talents.
For children who are shy, we provide an opportunity to build their confidence through positive reinforcement.
For children who need motivation to pursue their talents, The Island GLEE Club is an opportunity to be inspired, focused, empowered and to find their voice.
Paige, founder of MOVE Studio, has taught for The Island Glee Club for the past 7 years and is excited to have GLEE at MOVE Studio!

Our contemporary classes are taught with a youthful, vibrant approach to keep the children engaged. We understand the uniqueness of each child’s spirit and pride ourselves on fostering individual talent and expression in an environment that is collaborative, structured, but most of all fun!
