We were lucky enough to find Kevin Jones Performing Arts almost 4 years ago. Since that time, our daughter has grown tremendously in her ability as an actor, vocally and most importantly, in confidence. Due in large part to his training, she was signed with a top talent agency in the southeast and is currently booking jobs as a professional actor in film and TV. Through Kevin and his visiting experts and clinics, shes gained experiences here locally in coastal SC that were thought to be available only in NYC or California. His dedication to his students and his professionalism are beyond reproach. Hes simply an amazing teacher, friend and invaluable resource for anyone interested in stage, screen or simply someone who enjoys acting and singing for fun.
My daughter has been to multiple theatre camps by Kevin Jones Performing Arts Studio, and has worked with Kevin as a theatre/audition coach, and has had fantastic experiences all around! Kevin is an amazing teacher, coach, director, role-model and is a creative inspiration to all he works with. Regardless of whether you are new to theatre, or are a seasoned pro, Kevin has the unique blend of skill and personality to inspire and coach you to a higher level. Whether you are considering camps, classes or coaching, you wont find a better theatre experience than the Kevin Jones Performing Arts Studio!
My daughter is 18 and has been studying with Kevin for four years. I wish we could have had even longer! He is an amazing teacher for voice and musical theater. From music theory classes to musical theater history he covers everything these kids need to succeed in school, college and beyond. He has mock auditions every year and my daughter has completed nine of ten college auditions at this time. She was well prepared, thanks to Kevin. His summer camps are awesome as well as his winter camp. My daughter has not missed one in four years. He offers a trip for students to New York City and the number of things they do in a five day period is unbelievable! And to top it off they go to shows currently on Broadway.Kevin Jones has been a great influence in my daughter’s life as she prepares to pursue her dreams!
Kevin offers a terrific foundation for young performers to find their own unique voice in the very challenging arena of musical theatre. With a background in musical direction, Kevin is an expert at musicality and song interpretation. His continuing work with students of all ages and skill levels affords him a great level of patience and demeanor that is ideal for young artists. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is seriously interested in pursuing performance training or a potential career in the theatre arts.
Kevin offers the most all-encompassing musical theater education experiences in Myrtle Beach. His goal is to equip students with the skills, experience and knowledge they need to actually to succeed in the professional world. He is positive, encouraging, enthusiastic, experienced, connected. My daughter has grown significantly through her interactions with Kevin. He offers private lessons, group classes, summer camps, travel experiences and they have all been fantastic.
I have been working with and for Kevin Jones for over 10 years now. His training has truly molded me into the performer that I am today. His knowledge of the business is invaluable and his training started me on the journey that lead to many amazing performance opportunities around the world, on cruise ships and at various theaters. 10/10 would recommend.
My daughter attended Summer Camp in Virginia and still talks about it. She didn’t consider herself a musical theatre artist, but she was encouraged and motivated by her talented teachers and other campers. A great value for a truly unforgettable experience.
I can not recommend KJPAS enough. Our daughter just finished her 5th summer camp with Kevin Jones and her 4th year of training with him. He has transformed our shy little girl into a confident performer. The training that these kids receive from Kevin is unlike anything else available, and we recommend him to any students interested in musical theater. He supports his students while pushing them to always find ways to improve, learn and grow. Our daughter will tell you that KJPAS is one of her favorite places. Her studio lesson days are always her favorite day of the week! We continue to be extremely thankful for the experiences and training that Kevin provides for our daughter.
Kevin Jones is by far the best acting/musical theatre instructor for youth, and our region is lucky to have him.. My daughter attended her first KJPAS camp at 8 years old and musical theatre became her passion. She has been to his camps every summer since and she is now 17. She has been his student for 9 years in studio as well. Kevin has unique gifts and talents coming from his Broadway background that the average instructor just doesnt have. He is encouraging to all students no matter their experience level. Theatre skills are life skills and all children can and will benefit as individuals throughout their lives from the skills Kevin teaches at his camps and at his studio, no matter their path, from his superior instruction and the wonderful atmosphere that Kevin Jones creates in classes, camps, or private coaching. Your child will make friends for life at his camps and grow by leaps and bounds as a person and a performer. I just cant say enough good things about Kevin Jones Performing Arts Camps anc studio classes. .
My daughter has been taking lessons from Kevin for 2 years. His coaching has dramatically increased her vocal ability. KJPAS has provided her with opportunities to meet and be coached by professional Broadway actors/singers as well as perform along side them in special events. Kevin is extremely professional and I would highly recommend his studio.
Kevin has been able to coach and teach my daughter to a new level in just a few short months! She really enjoys the experience of both the camps and the studio lessons.
Both my kids have been through the Kevin Jones Performing Arts Studio -- multiple times -- and enjoyed it thoroughly. I personally took an improv class from Kevin, not because Im an actor, but because I felt it would help me in making business presentations at work (and I believe it has). I cannot recommend KJPAS strongly enough. The instruction is always first-rate and I know a lot of Kevins grads have gone on to work in theatre -- in New York and elsewhere. Thats kind of a big deal.
I have attended a number of KJPAS events and they are top notch. You can tell by the performances that he works very well with his students in bringing out the best in them. There is passion in the arts and the KJPAS students have it.
Kevin is an amazing teacher with decades of experience working with young people. SC is lucky to have such a great resource!
Creates a feeling of family among his students. So glad my parents found his programs
I have know Kevin for many years and he consistently provides excellent coaching, leadership, and mentorship. He is very talented and knows how to motivate young artists!
My daughter Dorian has been taking singing lessons at KJPAS for the last 3 years and her vocal range, power and clarity have improved more than we ever expected. She has also received an education in music theory and has performed in public on many occasions. Kevin is a superb teacher who focuses on each students talents and abilities then instructs them and challenges them to get the most out of those abilities and takes them to another level. He brings in actors and professionals direct from Broadway to help teach his students. His camps and workshops provide even more teaching and instruction. The course is challenging and fun for the students and is thrilling as a parent to watch them improve, gain confidence and grow in the music field. KJPAS has helped improve my daughters vocal skills to the point where she has made it on to he high schools singing group. She has also earned one of the lead roles in her high schools upcoming musical. KJPAS has helped to make some of her dreams come true in a very short time. Thank you KJPAS.
The KJPAS program is done with such excellence. Our son has grown so much as a performer in the last few years because of the instruction and experiences he has received at KJPAS.
I was among the first students of KJPAS. The skills I learned from Kevin and Melia continue to inform my daily life as an arts professional. And best of all, taking lessons and attending camps is FUN. Whether kids are hardcore about musical theatre or just dipping their toes in, KJPAS is a great experience. Warm and welcoming from the first note to the final bow.
I cannot recommend Kevin Jones Performing Arts Studio highly enough. I was a part of KJPAS from 7th grade through the end of my senior year of high school in 2013. To this day, I miss it and wish I could go back! I learned so much about theatre (both performance and technical) and life and friendship through KJPAS. It was my team sport growing up, if you will. Being taught by Kevin and the many visiting teachers he would bring in from time to time was more valuable than I was able to perceive at the time. Going into college for theatre, I knew more about auditioning and how to choose material and how to work that material than most other kids. KJPAS also helped me grow in confidence, as well as theatrical skill, and changed me as a person for that reason. I guess you could say because of KJPAS... I have been changed for good.
Great to work with. My daughter goes to the camps and the private lessons. She has grown so much in the past couple of years! Kevin helps with your childs auditions and takes them outside of their comfort zone. My daughter even won a scholarship for auditions! He brings in actors and actresses to help coach your child. I will recommend him to anyone!
I love this studio! Its a great experience for all ages!
Kevin was a huge help advising me on the writing of my musical. His experience and expertise will be a huge asset to me, Im sure!
