A lot of studios engaged in the creation of advertising, printing, printed publications, wardrobe items, design of events.

Individuality and creativity were always valued in the West. In our time, this trend is gaining momentum in Russia. People of the post-Soviet space are increasingly interested in unusual, bright things that will emphasize their dissimilarity, distinguish them from the gray environment.

The place where you paint with light

At the time of the emergence of photography, photography itself became a real event, with a large-scale preparation. As photographic equipment became more and more simple and accessible, the attitude to the process and its results also changed. For most people, it's enough to fill the albums with amateur photos on the soap box. But in the 21st century the tradition of making beautiful staged shootings for family albums comes back . And many resort to such a service to decorate their page in social networks.

And small schools usually have a certain direction: Latin American, Oriental or classical ballroom dances. If desired, you can find more rare styles, such as Irish dancing or rock and roll. Many schools participate in city and regional competitions.

For the little ones

The phrase "children's studio" may not be very clear to the layman. A more familiar name is a school or an early development studio. Now many parents do not want to rely only on kindergartens and general schools in the education and development of children. After all, there are usually large groups, and the teacher can not always give proper attention to the baby. And in many cases, he does not have the proper competence for the comprehensive development of the child.

Most children's studios deal with children from one to seven years. Up to three years, the brain develops most intensively, and it is important during this period to lay the foundation for the entire subsequent life.

In such schools, teachers apply an individual approach to each child. Training includes the development of creative, physical abilities, emotional sphere, preparation for school. Children also learn languages, practice dancing. With many children's studios there is also an art, music and theater class.

After visiting such a studio, the children are prepared for schooling, are confident in their abilities, are able to express their opinion.

Become a singer

There have always been many people who dream of becoming artists. Previously, to record their own song, it was necessary to enlist the support of producers and composers, giving access to the studios of sound recordings, of which there were few, and they were exclusively for professionals.

And today there are more opportunities to open your talent to the world. Many, for example, organize studios at home and spread their creativity through the Internet. However, not everyone who wants to sing can work with sound recording and editing. Also in every city there are a lot of young music bands that can not afford to spend money on special equipment.

For such people, there are audio studios or recording studios. They have several rooms: a sound engineer's room and a recording room that is soundproofed. In some studios there is also a hardware room and a listening room.

In the recording studio, you can record a song both for the purpose of further promotion and rotation on the radio, and simply as a gift to relatives.
