  • Music in Musicals. Students will develop an understanding of how music is used to convey character and emotion, and how that understanding can help strengthen and inform their acting choices.
  • Singing Musical Theatre. Students will develop an understanding of proper singing technique and how to use their voice to captivate an audience.
  • Dance and Movement. Students will learn how dance and movement contribute to musical storytelling and become familiar with basic choreography.
  • Acting the Song. Students will understand the importance of "acting a song" as opposed to just "performing a song", and learn how to give nuanced, compelling performances.
