The Training
A complete artist, formed young.
The Young Artist Program offers intensive training in vocal technique, acting, and dance — equipping students aged 6 to 18 with the craft a career in the performing arts demands. Participants perform alongside celebrated adult performers in every CLT production, gaining invaluable experience on a working stage.
Designed by Alexander Prokhorov-Tolstoy, a globally recognized voice instructor, the program is built on his acclaimed “ONE TWO THREE SING” method. Its graduates win top international competitions and perform at the most prestigious venues — among them Carnegie Hall and the Boston Pops.

Mr. Prokhorov-Tolstoy is an internationally recognized voice instructor and the creator of a singular method of vocal training, performance, and voice rehabilitation — “ONE TWO THREE SING,” a U.S. federally registered trademark. He teaches master classes and lectures on the subject throughout the United States and Europe, including the Gnessin State Musical College and the Higher School of Performing Arts in Moscow.
His students are featured on America’s Got Talent before the celebrity judges, and have been honored to perform the U.S. National Anthem at championship games — among them the legendary Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. They regularly win renowned international competitions and appear on the stages of celebrated theaters and philharmonic halls.
Alexander often presides as an honored member of the jury for national and international competitions, across genres ranging from opera to Broadway to pop and jazz — a teacher of prodigies, featured nationally on Ovation TV’s “Young Marvels.”
