Singing

A vital and unique feature of Musical Theatre. The aim of the singing lesson is to ensure that the students can produce a consistent sound throughout the vocal range without a noticeable break between registers. We aim to provide a repertoire form musical theatre to blues, jazz and contemporary songs. Focus will be placed on material suitable for the different kinds of auditions likely to be encountered.

Acting/Drama Workshops

The acting module helps the student perform in a convincing way by developing imagination, concentration and observation; develops effective disciplined works as a member of a team; builds confidence in using a range of acting styles and technique. Improvisations and exercise to explore life experiences will be used to inspire understanding of a character. Individual tutorials on audition speeches will be given as an option.

Dance

The Jazz Class aims to develop flexibility and strength to enable performance with energy, speed, stamina, co-ordination and control; to have the confidence necessary for auditions and to work in varying jazz dance styles.

The Dance Choral Classes help the student to work effectively as a member of a group and to combine singing and dancing in performance.

The Tap Class will build up a vocabulary of steps, provide at repertoire of combinations, develop competence in differing tap styles, versatility and a sense of dynamics in performance.

Classical Ballet is the foundation for all the other dance disciplines and aims to develop an understating of stance, placement and turn-out; plus an understanding of how to avoid injury.
