Where Young Performers Shine

Helping youth build skills, confidence, creativity, and lifelong memories through the performing arts.

Welcome to Port Perry Academy of Performing Arts

At PPAPA, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover their talent, build confidence, and experience the magic of performing.

Whether they’re taking their very first piano lesson, singing their favourite song, or stepping onto the stage in one of our full-scale productions, our students are encouraged to grow in a supportive, inspiring environment where effort is celebrated and every child belongs.

Choose Your Adventure!

• Private Music Lessons: From piano and guitar to voice and concert band instruments, our private lessons are tailored to each student’s skill level and musical interests, providing a focused and personalized learning experience.
• Group Musical Theatre Classes: Engage with peers in group settings that foster collaboration and camaraderie. We offer comprehensive training in voice, drama, and dance. Our programs are designed to enhance stage presence, build confidence, and develop a well-rounded skill set. Students get to demonstrate their skills in year end showcase.
• Performance Opportunities: Our students have the choice to engage in a number of performance opportunities including performing at Musical Festivals, Concerts, and the Year-End Showcase.

We are located at 16200 Old Simcoe Rd, Port Perry, ON in the Music Room at SA Cawker PS. Owner and Artistic Director, Melissa Karly also offers private lessons in her home-studio in Blackstock ON.
