This class comprises the vital work of practising the core skill areas in combination for holistic music theatre performance. Classes will integrate skills learning from first semester singing, acting and dance classes in specific application to music theatre repertoire. Acting the Song classes will advance the work begun in small ensemble and individual voice lessons to build an understanding of both technical and interpretative imperatives for the music theatre singer.
