Who are we?
That's a good question and one you should be asking! We are a family owned and operated business, overseen by husband and wife team Chris & Jess Morley (us!). Chris is a professional musician and music educator, with experience both on and back-stage, and Jess a retired dancer turned Ballet teacher and Pilates Instructor. We live out of town on a hobby farm where we also raise and home educate our 7 children (yes, you read that correctly!) We love life and we're not ones to shy away from travel and adventure - with our family in tow. We are also involved in numerous other ventures in the community including Chris teaching scripture at school and regularly preaching at local Churches, and Jess working for a local community services organisation. The vision for TPAA has been years in the making, we are excited to unroll it, and hope you'll be a part of it!
What do we do?
We love the performing arts, and we love to teach. We do everything with excellence and integrity and the results speak for themselves. In the past, we have had students go on to become professional performers, small business owners - emulating what we do, and even teachers themselves. Our Mission statement includes the phrase “To provide outstanding Performing Arts tuition..” and that word - outstanding - is the key to our ethos. It’s training that not only imparts and inspires but ‘stands out’ from the crowd. Rest assured, your child’s Performing Arts journey is in capable and confident hands, and you will be both moved and surprised at what your children can achieve under our guidance.
