About Creativity Starts Here
Creativity Starts Here is our beginners music and drama programme for ages 5-7 (School Years 1&2).
Offered through two separate sessions each week Creativity Starts Here is designed to nurture students natural creativity, develop communication skills, increase confidence and introduce ensemble and team work.
Creativity Starts Here – 9.00am – 10.00am
Using a range of exercises, games and creative play, students will take part in a vocal/choral session exploring their voice and musicality, and a drama/movement session igniting imagination and engaging their bodies.
Creative Music – 10.15am – 10.45am
Using the recorder and percussion these sessions develop co-ordination skills, melody and rhythm, providing the perfect introduction to the fundamentals of music making and playing.

We regret it is not possible to give refunds in the event of absence as the Centre has to continue paying professional tutors and overheads. GYA King’s Cross expects as close to 100% attendance as possible, to ensure you develop and get the most out of your attendance.
After the five-week trial period, students are enrolled on an annual membership basis, committing to the full academic year.
Guildhall Young Artists King's Cross requires half a term's notice in writing to withdraw from studies.
Please note, where the required half-term’s notice has not been given in writing, the relevant half-terms fees will remain payable. This is required to fulfil obligations to the professional tutors, pay for facilities and to encourage you to be fully committed to the courses chosen.
