Trinity College London Music and Drama

A great teacher makes all the difference.

Today, the UK is celebrating 'Thank a teacher day' and we wanted to mark the occasion by sharing some free resources from Trinity College London.

Some are designed specifically to support Trinity music and drama teachers, and others are great for sharing with candidates and parents.

All are available on the Trinity website. Here are some quick links to find them:

Thank you to all of the wonderful teachers out there, who spend their days encouraging, advising and celebrating with their students.

The six-month countdown to Christmas shows is on!

We know that many drama teachers are focussed on summer productions, but looking ahead the future, we've created a free, handy checklist to help you define responsibilities, delegate student roles, and streamline your planning over the next six months.

The guide includes:
1. A mapped-out timeline from casting to opening night
2. Icons assigned to each task to show who should be involved
3. A checklist format to easily track progress
4. Defined roles for students

If your drama department needs a quicker turnaround, we also have a speedy six-week plan available.
