Extra School of Arts

Thousands of pages have been written about the benefits of development through art. Not only British researchers, but decades of specialist research around the world have confirmed that art contributes to a child’s development more than any other field. From experts in neuroscience to renowned psychologists, professors and all sorts of researchers, all concluded that art develops creativity, expressiveness, critical thinking and aesthetic judgment, problem solving, increasing self-esteem and reducing negative states, the contribution being maximum on an emotional, mental, cognitive and even physical level. By actively participating in one of the art forms, superior brain plasticity is achieved, quick connections are made, and defining character traits are formed such as determination, responsibility, perseverance, resilience. Artistic success depends less on the native qualities and talent and more on the intrinsic motivation and mental strength of each individual. Thus, children will be able to acquire qualities essential for success in adult life, will be more communicative and with a higher degree in terms of interpersonal relationships. Current times confirm that the acquisition of social skills and the development of emotional intelligence are superior to other academic attributes.

Convinced that this way we will be able to raise truly “extra” children, we set up an art school. Statistics show that 72% of adults regret that they did not learn to play an instrument when they were young. We would like to change the percentage, because no one has ever regretted making music.

At the Music School we have individual instrument lessons: piano, guitar, bass, drums, violin, flute, panpipes. If you can’t find the instrument you would like to learn to play in the list, contact us and we’ll try to find a solution!

You can be part of a band and learn to sing as a whole, or if you already have a band, you can rent a rehearsal studio.

We add singing and choir classes, music workshops for children and also workshops for parents and young children for beautiful weekends spent together.

For those who want to reach an advanced level of performance in music, we will hold courses in music theory and music history.

At Fine Arts we want to offer courses adapted to the present, being especially with the thought to the requirements that are emerging for the future. Of all the arts, the field of fine arts shows the list of the most and most sought after trades, so the development of such artistic skills becomes extremely important. We include visual education and architecture courses, digital comics courses and Manga courses and various other creative workshops.

Through the Theater, children and especially teenagers face their limits, get rid of inhibitions, develop personality and define themselves as individuals. Through theater, creativity and imagination, communication and expressiveness are stimulated. Moreover, this is the artistic branch that most improves the ability to remember and concentrate.

We run acting classes for children and teenagers, improvisation classes and we want to stage plays both from the established repertoire and from those written, directed, thought and felt by the talented young people of the Extra Teen Creation Hub.

It is natural to continue the description with another refined art through which the development of children reaches maximum levels: literature. Literary art will be approached through creative writing courses, the book club and literary debates and especially through the Journalism and Blogging course. We do not stop at literature and the development of communication skills in Romanian, but we also add a course in literature, conversation and storytelling in English. According to Harry S. Truman: “Not all readers have leaders, but all leaders have readers”, so we are waiting for you with tea, cookies and wonderful books at “Five O`Clock Tea” Club.

In addition to the pleasure of spending time moving to the beat of music, dance classes have multiple benefits in terms of physical, mental and social. Harmonious physical development, toning muscles, increasing endurance, improving flexibility, preventing heart disease and oxygenating the brain, but especially inducing a positive state, combating stress, improving memory and stimulating cognitive functions are just some of the benefits of this course. You can opt for Sports Dance, Contemporary Dance and Street Dance, in beginner (advanced) or advanced groups.

Regardless of the course they take, the consistency of our students will be rewarded, and their evolution will be appreciated by everyone in the performances and productions of the Extra Perform A&A brand.
