Getting Information
You need to gather as much information as you can on the musical theatre courses that interest you, so you can make informed choices about where to apply.
Musical Theatre training courses focus on training performers to work in the professional musical theatre. They usually include classes in Singing, Dancing, Acting and productions of musical theatre shows. How much of each you get depends on the focus of that particular musical theatre course - some musical theatre courses focus more on dance, for example.
So it is important to take the time to find the musical theatre course that is right for you and your skills, interests and aspirations.
Here are some useful sources of general information about musical theatre training courses:
- Conference of Drama Schools
- National Council for Drama Training
- Council for Dance Education and Training
- UK Performing Arts
- The Creative Way - information on courses and jobs in the creative and cultural industries in the Thames Gateway area
These will cover most of the musical theatre training courses offered in the UK.
