One of the central cores of Stage 84 lies in it's commitment to training students to the highest vocal standards in musical theatre, jazz, rock, and pop singing. Specialist singing classes are available for all ages of students. These combine the opportunity to participate in group warm-ups together with one-to-one tuition to develop individuals' voices and repertoire. As many students are preparing auditions for shows within the school and other professional work, full support is given to advance pupils as far as possible. In addition to live performance, Stage 84 fully embraces the changes brought around by technology, and microphone and studio techniques are taught as essential skills. A junior choir is also run on a weekly basis. This enables younger students to learn basic vocal techniques, have fun and learn to sing a range of songs in an ensemble setting.

Pupils also have the opportunity to enter the Guildford School of Acting Musical Theatre Singing Examinations. The school holds a 100% pass rate in these examinations and 8 grades are available, allowing students to enter at the correct grade in relation to their ability. The Guildford School of Acting certificates are held in high esteem. The syllabus perfectly compliments Performing Arts classes at Stage 84, requiring students to combine their vocal skills together with stagecraft.
