Musical
Theatre is arguably the toughest of all musical performance disciplines,
because it is considered to be the most technical. After all, you’re frequently called upon to
sing, dance and act, all at the same time! If you’ve been bitten by the Glee
bug and feel inspired to take to the stage yourself, there are a number of
musical theatre schools you might consider.
A musical
theatre school will help you make of your abilities and may even bring out
talent you didn’t realize you had. As well as learning new skills, joining a course
or class will open up a whole new social life and provide a wealth of
opportunities for personal and creative development.
So what sorts
of classes are available to musical theatre students?
There are
specialist workshops like a West End or Glee-type workshop which generally run
for one day and allow participants to learn and perform pieces in a fun,
light-hearted environment. These one-day events are perfect for those wanting
to get a flavour of musical theatre and you’re sure to end the day on a real
high note as you reflect on how much you have achieved in such a short space of
time. The experience is bound to leave you hankering for more . . .
For those of
you who are serious about wanting a career in the world of performance arts,
then a one or two year intensive programme leading to an accredited
qualification is ideal. You’ll receive
the highest levels of training and professional advice all the way through your
chosen course and as you prepare to launch yourself into your exciting new
career.
Many
students will have inhibitions when they first join a course – it’s only
natural. But really there’s no need to be anxious because most classes will
focus on the group numbers first so you gradually gain in confidence. Though of
course, if you have a penchant for solo performing you will be encouraged to
step into the spotlight sooner, rather than later.
Throughout
your chosen course, you will be trained by experienced mind, body and voice
coaches to ensure you perform at the optimum level for you.
They say
there’s nothing quite like the buzz of live theatre. And for those of us who
love musicals, there can surely be no bigger buzz than appearing centre stage in
a top production. If this is what you
dream of, then check out the variety of courses and classes available at your
local musical theatre school or drama schools today.
