"There's really no comparison to what you provide" -
"I just want to say thank you so much. I really can't explain how much WEK has become to Kaspar since he began.
He has attended other part time performing arts training that have the elite label and whilst I'm certainly not putting any of them down, they all have something to offer, but there's really no comparison to what you provide all of your students.
Both on a vocational level but it's also the ethos and support that is clearly visible."

"She absolutely loved last Saturday and didn't stop talking about it all the way home! She said it was so much fun and she laughed all the way through.
She said all the coaches were brilliant, that she got some really good technique corrections and she felt like she'd found the perfect place for her.

"Skills to keep working, take risks and be brave" -
"WEK is everything to Sadie, when people at college ask her why she's still doing it, she tells them 'I love it so much. the performance opportunities are incredible, I learn so much and it's just so fun'.
So, thank you for everything you do for her. Every lesson, note, practice, performance, she learns from and values. I can honestly say she is buzzing after ever session, wherever she is.
I have never seen Sadie as happy as she is now. The work ethic you instill in all of your students is apparent compared to their peers.
You are giving her the confidence and skills to keep working, take risks and be brave with everything she does. So sincerely, thank you for everything. WEK is incredible."

"I am so thankful" -
"Meg is very lucky to have the opportunity to be taught and encouraged by you.
I know she works hard, but to find a teacher that inspires you to do your very best and who encourages you to continue to improve is actually a very rare thing in my experience, and Meg has most definitely found that with you.
Meg would not be anywhere near the singer or performer she is without Martin and Emma, the change in her in just over 2 years is just phenomenal.
I am so thankful that an idle search in 2018 for a summer course that would stretch her led us to an audition for troupe, singing lessons and an opportunity to work with Martin & Emma."

"WEK is worth any sacrifice" -
"I first found out about WEK because I saw a girl in a local amateur production who was clearly a cut above the rest! I found out she was a part of WEK. Their professionalism is simply outstanding. They cut no corners in any aspect of our training… they push you to the max on everything. The harder you work, the faster you climb the ranks. Local places don't care who is the best, to be honest. WEK gives those who work hardest the promotions and opportunities.
One quote Martin told me a few years ago that I will never forget is 'Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough.'
It doesn't matter how far away you live, WEK is worth any sacrifice. If you want to be pushed above and beyond anything you can imagine, WEK is the place."

"A way of life" -
"West End Kids has become a way of life for Katie. In her first year at WEK she performed at the O2, the Royal Albert Hall, West End LIVE and 3 WEK Revues.
West End Kids has taken her to a new level. I am so grateful to WEK for teaching her the correlation between hard work and success at such a young age.
I have been amazed by the transformation I have seen since she joined WEK."

"You'll never know what it's done for her mental health" -
"The last year has been incredibly tough for her for one reason or another, mainly bullies at school and WEK has given her something to feel positive about and look forward to every week, getting her through her school days.
Everyone is so supportive and I genuinely believe she's made some friends for life.
Thank you for everything, I don't think you will ever quite know what this has done for her and her mental health.".

"West End Kids has been the absolute making of my daughter!
She applied to two performing arts schools and, after a year in WEK: Training, was offered a place at both! Thanks so much!
We didn't know what WEK was when Georgia first auditioned! She's never looked back!
As a parent, I can't speak highly enough of WEK and the work ethic they teach to their Training Teams and to Troupe!"

"Best decision ever" -
"The best decision Georgie ever made was to attend a WEK workshop audition six years ago "just for experience". Since then WEK has been her world; she has been taught and encouraged by Emma and Martin in every possible way to develop the skills and attitude needed to succeed as an MT performer. The training is tough but fantastic -- as are the amazing performance opportunities once in Troupe. WEK is a musical theatre family like no other and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
It has made, and is continuing to make, Georgie the performer she is today."

"Confidence, independence and performing ability" -
"When Paige found WEK we, as parents, were skeptical due to the financial commitment but it turned out to be the most important stepping stone for the Performing Arts College path and ultimately securing a scholarship at Laine.
For Paige, they brought out her love and passion for musical theatre and boosted her confidence, independence and performing ability.
THANK YOU Emma and Martin (WEK) we have loved, enjoyed and are thankful for the WEK journey."

"Improved me in every aspect -
"WEK has improved me in every aspect of my performance, especially singing and it has taught me how important it is to tell a story when you are performing.
It has also given me an insight into what it's going to be like in the performing arts industry. This is where I think WEK is really unique -- you get treated like true professionals.
This makes us all so close as a group, we all work so hard and the hard work really pays off."

"Great step on the ladder to a career in the arts" -
"I wouldn't have been offered a full-time place at Urdang Academy without WEK. WEK taught me how to prepare for an audition (which is absolutely key) and had given me a clear insight in to what a typical day on a full-time vocational course would be like. Auditions were a regular thing at WEK, especially leading up to our termly revues. This helped me to battle my nerves when singing at my drama school auditions..
WEK has definitely been a great step on the ladder to a career in the arts. It has helped me to keep driven, taught me to invest in myself, to prepare for auditions and to stay focused. Whilst training with WEK I gained confidence in all three disciplines, and noticed a dramatic improvement in my vocal range and technique. WEK revealed a performer in me that I hadn't seen before and I wouldn't have been offered a full-time place at Urdang Academy without their help!"

To think that in just a year I've performed at Royal Albert Hall, West End LIVE, Camp Bestival, Common People, Great Ormond Street, OnBlackheath, Move IT, Chelsea Flower Show and the Queen's 90th Birthday amongst loads of festivals and charity performances is unbelievable.
I think WEK has transformed me into a much stronger, matured and determined performer and I will always be thankful to Martin and Emma for everything they do for me.

"Positive impact you are having on young peoples lives" -
"I just wanted to take the time to express my gratitude for everything you do for West End Kids Troupe. What an absolutely tremendous experience troupe had yesterday. The photos and videos I have seen are so awesome. On a personal note, I also wanted to thank you for the kindness you both showed Fliss after her costume error in the second performance. She could have been made to feel humiliated and like a failure but due the care and support you both showed her she has reflected on it and learnt from the situation but has moved on and is now focussed on all the positives from the performances. I feel truly blessed that Fliss has found such amazing guidance and support as well such excellent Musical Theatre training. A very rare find. I hope you both have the opportunity to have a bit of down time today to rest and reflect on what a positive impact you are having on these young peoples lives."
