Kids' talents get a boost on The Avenue


Bet you didn’t know about ways to bring out your kids’ artistic talents here along The Avenue  of Glendora Village:


Keener Music Studio, 167 N. Glendora Ave., Suite 14G, (626) 675-4439, kristina_keener@hotmail.com – Kristina Keener offers private music lessons in voice, piano, guitar, ukulele and most school band instruments for all ages and abilities and in all musical styles.
Her goal is to meet each student's individual needs and train them to the skill level they desire, whether they are Broadway bound, an aspiring classical musician, a song writer/composer, or just learning for fun.
Keener is a former high school show choir teacher and has two degrees in music and over 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry. She founded Top Billing Entertainment, a non-profit performing arts group, to bring professional level instruction and opportunities to performers of all ages and abilities at low cost.
Auditions for Top Billing’s Holiday Show will be Sept. 22.

KidsArt Glendora, 160 N. Glendora Ave., Suite G, (626) 857-0708 – KidsArt teaches students, ages 4 years and up, realistic drawing and painting. Classes focus on still-life, the figure, landscape, portraiture, cartooning, animation including Animé and Pokémon, clay sculpture and more.
The program offers art instruction that goes far beyond cut and paste, and arts & crafts. It teaches a student how to “see” in a new way and offers basic understanding of how to draw and paint.
One-hour classes are available for children 4-6 years old and there are 1 1/2-hour classes for students 7 and older. Check KidsArt Glendora’s website for seasonal workshops.  
SING INC, 123 N. Glendora Ave., (626) 963-1777 – Aspiring singers of all ages can “try it out” every Saturday, 2-3 p.m., to experience SING INC’s training method.
SING INC Glendora offers five private studios, a professionally equipped performance stage, audio/video recording studio and more.
Students are offered “1on1” training, enhancement courses and performance opportunities.
Priority registration is going on now for various classes, including Kid Starz for children 3-7 on Saturdays from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Plan your next birthday party at SING INC, too, with either the Ultimate Popstar Package or the Concert Package.
