Music Training Center - Marlton, NJ

When I️ was younger I️ performed in numerous plays here, now my brother is attending and doing musicals here and I️t does not even compare to what I️t once was. I️t was terrible. The director Carlos criticized numerous students, all of which are 9 or 10 years old, especially my brother who was the lead role and was very stressed out over the situation. Also, the production quality was not even close to what I️t once was. Now all the students say “line” in the final performance, never did this happen when I️ attended this training center. The ownership should be ashamed of what I️t allows their employees and teachers to do, and how the program has changed since I️ have left the program. Absolutely disgraceful!!!

My daughter started at MTC 8 years ago and we have loved every minute of it. She started with voice and piano lessons and while she had an interest in theater, she was nervous to give it a try. When she did eventually try theater, the entire staff at MTC were amazing. They were so encouraging and supportive and never made her feel uncomfortable. 4 years later, she is blossoming as a theater performer which is due to the way theater was introduced to her by the staff at MTC. Carlos, the theater director, not only focuses on the show they are performing, he teachers kids all aspects of theater, from auditioning, blocking, using emotion, etc. - his goal is for kids to understand all that is involved in putting on a show. From the front desk staff, to management and to every instructor, MTC staff is wonderful, professional, dedicated and nurturing. It really is a wonderful place for all musical interests.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experiences that my family has had and continues to have at the Music Training Center in Marlton. My daughter wanted to start acting and a friend referred us to MTC. Both my daughter and my son have performed in their shows. Carlos has been so helpful, encouraging, and inspiring to them. As a former director, I understand the difficult line that a director walks wanting to encourage actors and wanting to hold them accountable for their responsibilities to the show. Carlos does this really well. He challenges the children to be their best and gives them notes (as is a director's job) to let them know where they can improve. He is approachable, kind, and caring. My children know that they can always talk to him about concerns or questions that they have. MTC is, as I tell everyone, a safe place for children to learn to experience the theatre. They don't have to worry. They do their best and the teachers are proud of their accomplishments. If children have difficulty remembering a line, it can be scary for them. The children at MTC know that Carlos has their backs and he will feed them the line so that they can continue the show the best way that they can. My son worries about learning his lines before a performance, but he is confident the day of the show, because he knows that Carlos is there for him. I recommended MTC for anyone who has a child who may be interested in theatre or who needs help with public speaking and wants practice being in front of a crowd. My children have made wonderful friendships with the other children at MTC. The casts become like a family. I also want to say that my daughter takes voice lessons with Catherine, who has helped her to grow as a singer and enabled her be more confident in herself and her singing. My daughter also takes private acting/auditioning lessons with Carlos. He has helped her believe in herself and her talent. Ann runs the school well. She cares about her students and she wants them to have the best possible experiences. All the children that I know that attend, love their time there and are grateful for the support that they receive from the staff. I feel lucky to have gotten my children into a place that helps them and encourages them to be the best that they can be. Thank you Ann, Carlos, Catherine, and everyone at MTC!
