Teatro musical para niños - Etapa 1 (Matilda)

This is a 6-week Musical Theatre Technique Course studying the three elements that make up 'Triple Threat Training' in Musical Theatre - Drama, Singing and Dance.  The course is suitable for beginners and those with a little experience aged 7 to 10 years.  Children should have an interest in all three elements.  Each meeting will both build-on and practice techniques learned in each class.  

For Drama, we will be working on gaining confidence in speaking and using expression while acting through the use of Drama Games/Breathing & Speech Exercises/Acting Exercises.  
For Singing we will be practicing vocal exercises each week and working on our Musical Theatre song.  
For Dance, we will be doing a Jazz warm-up each week and working on basic steps in our routine.

Teaching Style:- I have a positive approach to teaching.  I like to praise and encourage.  When I'm speaking or have music playing I may keep the students muted so they are able to hear me/the music clearly but I will be interacting and spotlighting the children throughout.

The pace of the course will reflect the children in the class therefore this may change the order in which we learn/practice elements of the course.
