MUSICAL THEATRE Classes
Most of the Musical Theatre curriculum is devoted to the development of three basic talent areas:
VOICE, DANCE and ACTING
In Dance, students are grouped according to ability from beginner to intermediate to advanced. Vocal coaching focuses on the basic fundamentals of vocal production, classical literature, musical theatre literature, and also explores the correct and safe execution of the BELT/POP voice. The Acting element attempts to break down any barriers or walls that may exist and help the performer to be more relaxed and confident in the stage environment. The differences between film/television acting and stage acting are discussed and practiced. Monologues and scene work contribute to an advanced refinement of song interpretation and communication.
