This will run from Thursday, April 16 to Friday, April 24.

Mr Lane said the classes came at no charge, as the Wingecarribee Vocal Muster had been registered as a charity.

"The most important thing is we're not charging [participants], in light of so many people struggling financially at the moment," the founder said.

"Our goal is to champion the arts in the Southern Highlands and to assist kids."

The workshops will be conducted by leading performing arts professionals via Zoom, with a capacity of up to 100 students per class.

Mr Lane said these opportunities helped up-and-coming performers grow.

"We're trying to instill self-worth, self-confidence and a belief in their skills and abilities," he said.

"It's like the kid who plays cricket; the more they play, the better they become."
