Singing and Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre LESSONS

Throughout both our Singing & Musical Theatre classes we provide breathing techniques from in depth vocal workouts to enable the voice to have a better range and tone to belting safely, diaphragmatic breathing and the bel-canto singing method. We cover a wide range of music styles specialising in Musical Theatre and encompassing Pop Jazz and RnB to compliment not just Musicals but Modern Drama Performances and Pantomimes.

Our musical theatre lessons incorporate acting through song, musical vocal characterisation, learning the importance of ensuring continuity in performance, vocal techniques and singing safely and belting elements in musical theatre for beginners to advanced integration.

Each term we choose a different theme whether that be preparation for a performance, or studying the composers and lyricists and background of their work from Lin Manuel Miranda, Stephen Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, Rogers & Hammerstein, Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz. We undertake study and performances based on the different styles of each area of musical theatre which can then be integrated into our Live Performances to create a sound musical theatre performer.
