What TeenEdge & Dream Program – Music & Vocal Is

TeenEdge is a youth-development and enrichment organisation offering a variety of creative, educational and arts programmes aimed at helping young people “turn their dreams into reality.”

Under their “Dream Program” umbrella, one of the key offerings is Dream Program – Music & Vocal. This programme is designed for individuals who love to sing and perform, whether they are beginners or more experienced — providing structured vocal training, performance coaching, and insight into the music industry.

TeenEdge positions itself as more than just a coaching centre: their mission includes mentorship by industry professionals, personalized coaching, building real-world readiness (skills, confidence, industry exposure), and offering pathways for those interested in music as more than a hobby.

What the Dream Program – Music & Vocal Offers

🎤 Vocal Training & Performance Skills

The Dream Program – Music & Vocal provides a structured 8-session training course covering foundational and advanced vocal skills. Sessions include:

• Breathing technique — learning to control breath for better singing stamina and control.

• Vocal projection and improvisation — helping participants sing with clarity and adapt creatively.

• Vocal range testing, stability, and pitch accuracy — essential for developing good control and consistency.

• Stage performance skills — including lyrics interpretation & emotional delivery, body movement, facial expression, stage presence and charisma. These help prepare singers not just for practice, but for real performance situations.

👨‍🏫 Mentorship by Industry Professionals

Participants are mentored by experienced professionals from the music industry. For example, for the Music & Vocal programme, the mentor is Elmer Ho — a composer, music arranger, vocal coach, and digital media producer with over 20 years of experience. He has worked internationally (including in Tokyo) and has experience in film and video game music production.

This mentorship offers students not only technical coaching but also insight into real-world industry standards and expectations — giving a realistic sense of what a music career can involve.

📅 Course Structure & Accessibility

• The programme runs 8 sessions, typically on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

• It’s open to participants aged 12 and above. Beginners with no prior experience are welcome.

• Sessions are conducted in small groups (maximum 6 participants), allowing for more personalized attention and focused coaching.

This structure makes the programme accessible and manageable — even for those with limited musical background — while still maintaining quality through small-group coaching.

🎶 Continued Opportunities: Music Incubator & Related Programmes

For those who want to go beyond the 8-session programme, TeenEdge offers a “Music Incubator” — an industry-mentor–guided weekly programme for committed students who want deeper exposure to the music industry.

Music Incubator covers broader aspects of music creation and production, including:

• Vocal performance and stage training, studio recording training.

• Songwriting: lyrics writing, melody development, chords/harmony — with opportunity to pitch original songs to local and international artists or labels.

• Music production: using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for recording and mixing, using VSTs, sampling and sequencing — giving practical, industry-relevant production skills.

• Music arranging: fundamentals of music theory, instrument arrangement, composition projects — useful for those interested in creating or arranging music professionally.

The Incubator programme is open to anyone aged 12 and above. The structure is flexible: participants can choose any area(s) (vocal, songwriting, production, arranging) to join, and pay a flat fee regardless of how many areas they participate in.

TeenEdge even offers a free trial session — allowing prospective members to experience the programme before committing.

Additionally, outside of Music & Vocal, TeenEdge’s Dream Programs include a range of other creative and arts tracks: music arranging, video production, photography, EDM production, art & design, K-pop dance bootcamps, and more — indicating a holistic creative education ecosystem.

Who the Programmes Are For & What Students Gain

TeenEdge’s music programmes are designed for a wide range of young people: from teenagers 12 and older who are passionate about singing or music, to those who want to explore music production, songwriting, and even music as a potential career path. Beginners are welcome; no prior experience is necessary for the basic Music & Vocal programme.

Students benefit from:

• Structured, professional coaching — vocal training, performance skills, music-industry insight, small-group mentorship.

• Realistic industry exposure — through mentorship by professionals with real-world experience, and opportunities in songwriting, production, and music projects if they join the incubator.

• Creative development — from vocal performance to songwriting, music production, composition and more. A chance to explore many facets of music making, not just singing.

• Flexible pathways — whether you just want to learn singing casually, or aim to build a serious music portfolio. Music Incubator offers a more intensive, longer-term option.

• Peer and community — being part of a cohort, collaborating, learning together; building confidence, teamwork, and artistic community.
