Our Approach


Our Musical Theatre Foundation courses are taught by two teachers in order to maximise your learning experience. We will also have a masterclass session which will be our only opportunity to look at solos. The course is group lead so this is a great way for you to get specific feedback relating to vocal technique and storytelling.

Musical theatre classes are taught in a fun and supportive environment so don’t worry if you feel a bit nervous. We pride ourselves on our community values. We do not require you to be a seasoned performer, all we ask for is a positive attitude and energy to help make the classes as fun as possible!

Want to learn more?

Many students continue their musical theatre journey by exploring further training in singing, dance and acting. Whether you want to keep building confidence, develop your performance technique or work towards more challenging repertoire, our musical theatre courses can help you take the next step.
