Musical Theatre · Voice · Acting · Confidence
Conservatory-level musical theatre training for kids on the San Mateo Peninsula — at their school, in private lessons, and online.
Three Ways To Train
We don't separate future performers from future leaders. At Elevate, they are the same child — and whether your child dreams of Broadway or simply wants to walk into any room with confidence, the skills that get them there are exactly the same.
Multi-week musical theatre sessions at Peninsula partner schools, right after dismissal. Classes are capped at 15 students and every session ends with a live Studio Showcase for families.
Explore After-School Programs →One-on-one voice and audition coaching with founder Erin Lautsch, in person or over Zoom. Real conservatory technique, tailored to your child — from first songs to competitive auditions.
Meet Your Coach →An online course that teaches young performers exactly how to prepare for — and win — auditions: song selection, preparation, nerves, and what directors are really looking for.
About the Course →What Families Say
Finding Erin was a game changer.
She meets Serena exactly where she is, builds her confidence — and in no time had her performing in front of hundreds of people. She adores Erin.
“She's a magician! I had no idea I could sound like that.”
My daughter, after her first session. Erin meets kids where they're at — she even helped my inherently shy son feel confident before his stage debut.
She landed every role she auditioned for in the past two years.
Erin has built incredible confidence in our ten-year-old daughter — she counts down the days until her lesson each week.
The Elevate Method
Vocal warmups and singing technique rooted in real training
Stage presence, expression, and character development
Curated musical theatre songs every child will love
The courage to perform, speak up, and own the room
Every session ends with a live performance for family and friends. Every child gets their moment — a solo, duet, or ensemble number they've chosen and prepared themselves. A moment they'll remember.
