We wanted to share our amazing Musical Theatre Exam students performing a song they are currently working on for their exam.
They have gained so much confidence, and their vocals have developed beautifully.
This is Ella performing “As long as he needs me”from Oliver.
Our students have the opportunity to take graded examinations throughout their training. As they progress through the grades, they can achieve qualifications equivalent to a GCSE and, at the higher levels, an A Level.
We are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and progress. 🎭✨
