Ultimo
A 45 or 60 min group singing class for High School aged students.
Timing and class duration (and therefore cost) all TBC in late January.
Stage Door's Ultimo Group Singing Class is a fun, interactive class suitable for all ability levels.
Students will work on a number of songs with a focus on developing good singing technique, harmony work, musical knowledge and performance. The perfect place for teens to develop their singing abilities and grow in confidence as a singer in a fun, supportive environment.
Students rehearse towards Singing Recitals in the middle and at the end of the year.

2026 Recitals
Throughout the year our Group Singing Classes will take part in two public Recital Performances - one mid year, and the other at the end of the year. The Recitals will be held at Stage Door Studios and give students the chance to prepare for, and perform in front of an audience, and show whānau and friends what they have been working on during classes.
Stage Door's 2026 Recitals are scheduled for the following dates:
* Mid Year Singing Recital - Friday, June (date tbc), from 6pm
* End of Year Singing Recital - Friday, December (date tbc), from 6pm
CLASS NAME MEANING
All of our Group Singing Classes are named after a musical term.
More often than not, directions regarding the volume, speed and style of a piece of music are given in Italian. ‘Ultimo’ is no different.
In English, ‘Ultimo’ translates to ‘Last’ - an apt class name for our oldest school aged singers.
When Stage Door first introduced Group Singing Classes to our offering back in 2015 we had three classes running:
- Our youngest class (‘Prima’, or ‘First’);
- Our middle class (‘Mezzo’ or ‘Middle’), and;
- Our oldest class - the Ultimos
