PRIVATE LESSONS

Singing, Dance, Acting, Audition Prep and exams

LAMDA Acting Exams

 

Acting Exam learners develop their vocal, physical and interpretive skills while they delve into characters and explore the background of dramatic texts. Alongside producing authentic performances of their chosen scenes, they also gain an understanding of the context and characters within them.
Working through the grades takes our learners through the development of clear speaking and character portrayal to an understanding of a playwright’s style, the influence of theatre practitioners such as Stanislavski and a sensitive appreciation of subtext.

 

LAMDA Musical Theatre Exams

 

Musical Theatre learners develop their acting skills through song. They use vocal techniques to convey the right mood, and engage with the material to form a thoughtful interpretation of the song.
As they progress through the grades, learners explore characterisation through monologues or duologues, which are performed in character and act as an introduction to their songs. They’ll also deepen their understanding of the history of musical theatre by performing songs from a range of eras, and by researching the work and influence of one of its composers or lyricists.

 

IDTA Dance Exams

(Ballet, Tap, Contemporary Modern Jazz, Theatre Craft)

 

The purpose of the IDTA’s Graded and Vocational Graded qualifications is to motivate and encourage candidates of all ages and levels through a system of progressive mastery and to provide a form of training that develops and enhances skills, knowledge and understanding in a safe and consistent way. The qualifications are not only beneficial to those studying Dance as a recreational pursuit but could also prepare learners for further learning by helping them to develop their skills enabling them to progress to the next level.

 

Singing Lessons
