Why Singing Might Be the Best Extracurricular You Haven’t Considered Yet

If you're anything like the parents I speak to every week, you're always on the lookout for the right activity for your child—something that brings them joy, builds their confidence, and helps them grow in a meaningful way.

The options feel endless: sports, art, coding, tutoring, dance... but what if I told you that singing lessons might quietly be one of the most powerful choices you can make?

Whether your child sings constantly at home or just lights up when music comes on, here’s why singing is one of the best extracurricular activities for kids aged 10 to 16—and how we’re offering it in Esslingen and online to fit your family’s lifestyle.

A Warm, Structured Space to Grow

Children thrive in spaces where they feel safe, seen, and supported. That’s the foundation of everything we do in our singing program for children—whether in-person or online.

🎵 Lessons are available: - In-person in Esslingen (convenient for families near Stuttgart) - Or in a hybrid model, combining both online sessions and face-to-face lessons for added flexibility

Whether your child is local or prefers to learn from the comfort of home, they’ll be guided with care, structure, and encouragement.

Confidence That Stays with Them

One of the most beautiful things about singing lessons for children is watching confidence grow from the inside out. When a child realises they can express themselves through their own voice, it opens up a whole new world.

I've seen students go from whispering lyrics to performing with a microphone and a smile—and that kind of transformation touches everything from self-esteem to friendships to school life.

Brain Benefits You Might Not Expect

Singing is full of hidden learning. As children sing, they’re working on memory, focus, language, and emotional regulation. Add in music theory and sight-singing, and you’ve got real cognitive development happening.

It’s no surprise that music education supports academic growth—especially in reading, maths, and long-term memory. And the best part? It doesn’t feel like school.

Creative Joy with Discipline

Kids need a balance of freedom and structure—and singing provides both. Each session includes creative expression and technique. It’s a place where fun meets focus.

Your child will learn how to: - Practise intentionally  - Set and track goals  - Stay committed in a way that feels exciting, not overwhelming

And yes—there are plenty of smiles along the way. 😊

Emotional Expression in a Safe Way

Music is a beautiful outlet for big feelings. In our classes, we don’t just sing notes—we tell stories, explore emotion, and help children connect with the heart of the music.

It’s about building not just vocal skill, but emotional intelligence—something your child can carry into every part of life.

Community Without Comparison

Not every child thrives in competitive teams or high-pressure environments—and that’s okay.

In our group lessons, student showcases, and online events, children connect, collaborate, and cheer each other on. There’s a real sense of belonging—without the comparison or pressure to be “the best.”

Fuss-Free and Flexible

Singing is one of the most low-stress extracurriculars around. No gear. No long commutes. No pricey uniforms.

Whether you join us in Esslingen or through our hybrid/online model, all your child needs is their voice, some curiosity, and the courage to try.
