HISTORY AND PROGRAM

Founded in 2012 by Thanh Bui, an Australian-Vietnamese artist/songwriter/educator, Soul Music and Performing Arts Academy provides training in music and dance to children from the age of 6 months to adult. SMPAA’s mission is to bring a well-rounded music and performing arts education to every child in order to nurture the next generation of young artists. It strives to develop the artistic and academic aspects of all students so that they can achieve their fullest artistic and career potential in their chosen fields.

The programs at SMPAA take place following the normal school day Monday-Friday and all day on weekends. All programs run continuously throughout the year with two terms per calendar year. Located in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, the beautiful campus containing four buildings is an artistic oasis in a bustling area of the city. Two buildings are of French Colonial architecture and contain a few offices, many music studios and two small dance studios. The other two buildings are modern constructions holding professional level dance studios and a multifunctional performance complex that seats over 500 as well as music studios. The facilities also include a fully equipped production room and a total of twenty-two music studios with pianos or keyboards. The programs in music include piano, voice, drums, guitar, flute, violin, cello, musicianship and music theory. In dance, the program offers five genres: ballet, modern jazz, commercial hip-hop, dance sport (Latin and ballroom style dance) and contemporary dance. There are instrumental and vocal ensemble groups. The music program follows the curricula of Trinity College London (TCL), the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB).
