Plymouth Performing Arts Center

Plymouth Performing Arts Center has been such a wonderful and positive outlet for my daughter, Katelyn. From a young age, she has always been a very creative child, and this program has truly helped her grow and develop her artistic abilities through theater and voice lessons. Because of their guidance and encouragement, she has grown into something she truly loves and feels confident pursuing.

The teachers at Plymouth Performing Arts Center are kind, patient, and understanding. They treat all students with fairness and respect, creating a supportive environment where children feel safe to learn, grow, and express themselves. Their dedication goes far beyond teaching—they inspire confidence, teamwork, and self-belief.

I am so grateful that my daughter has had such a meaningful social and creative outlet through this program. The impact it has had on her confidence and happiness is immeasurable. I cannot thank the staff enough for all of their hard work, commitment, and passion.

Plymouth Performing Arts Center truly deserves recognition for the difference they make in the lives of their students and families.

My children have done many of PPAC’s programs over the years and have always had a great experience there! They’ve learned and developed as performers and musicians and attending classes-especially Glee- is the highlight of the week!

I was a student at PPAC for 8 years, and I attribute much of my musical development to the school. Every PPAC instructor I worked with, not only helped to develop my musical skills, but believed in my ability to succeed, which helped my confidence and passion for the arts. I am so grateful for all that I have learned from them. PPAC succeeds in providing each student with insight in the musical world, but also in the professional world.

The kids develop such confidence through PPAC’s musical theater classes and voice lessons. It is amazing to see! My daughter loves performing and the group of theater-obsessed friends she has made during her time at PPAC. So glad we have this resource so close to home!

My daughter, Maia, began attending First Notes music classes at Plymouth Performing Arts Center in August 2025, when she was just 13 months old. At the time, she could only say a few words—mostly the names of basic body parts. During class, she often preferred to sit back and observe Ms. Morgan and Mr. Paul. I would gently encourage her to stand up and move with the music, but for the first few months, she was hesitant.

Even so, I chose to continue enrolling her because she was clearly interested in what was happening around her. After each class, she would come home and eagerly play with her shaker toys, creating her own little moments of music. As she grew older and began communicating more, she started tapping on the table and saying “ta-ta-ta-ta,” mimicking the rhythms she heard in class.

Now at 18 months, and still attending First Notes, Maia has become much more comfortable and confident. She stands, moves, and dances during class, copies movements without my help, and even sings along to the songs. Attending First Notes has not only instilled a love of music in Maia, but has also helped build her confidence. This confidence carries over into other activities, such as library story time, where she now participates with more ease.

The class has also supported Maia’s fine and gross motor development. At home, she dances freely, engages in pretend play—like acting as a cow—and uses her tiny fingers to carefully move small objects. Watching her growth through music has been a joyful experience, and First Notes has played a meaningful role in her development.
