This One-Time Musical Theatre class is aimed at children who would like to practice their Musical Theatre skills through the use of Drama Games/Vocal Exercises and Dance/Performance skills. It is suitable for both beginners and those with a little experience aged 8-11 Years. This class may be repeated - different skills/performance pieces will be studied each time if there are repeat learners. Class Breakdown Example:- Introduction Warm Up/Acting Game - Movement/Drama Game E.g. Body Part Camera, Presents (Emotions), Imaginary Props, GIF's., Starting Lines Improv. Vocal Warm Up Exercises - Breathing/Speech/Tongue Twisters A Short Dance/Performance Piece from Musical Theatre Cooldown/Acting Exit Teaching Style:- I have a positive approach to teaching. I like to praise and encourage. When I'm explaining the tasks I may keep the students muted so they are able to hear me clearly or if there is a background noise I may ask the students to keep themselves muted when it is not their turn. The pace of the class will reflect the children in the class.
Learning Goals
Students will practice a variety of Musical Theatre skills through the use of Drama/Acting Games, Vocal Exercises and a Short Dance/Performance Piece. This class should also help the Learner gain confidence as well as having fun.
