Course Information
Classes
There are three class groupings within this course. E1 for the youngest students and E2a / E2b for the slightly older students.
Assessment
Students are continually assessed within their class however, formal assessments take place in Spring with the issuing of a report and the opportunity for parents to come in and discuss the progress of their child with staff. If a student is recommended for upgrade to the next level of class, this would normally take place following the formal assessments. Alternatively, staff may feel that the student would benefit from further time at the same level. It is different for every child. All Elementary MT Course students re-audition annually in June for re-entry and progression to the next Academic Year to ensure quality of standards in each Academic Year.
Class hours
E1 attend Monday evenings from 5-8pm and Saturdays from 9am - 1pm, E2a & b attend Monday evenings from 5-9pm and Saturdays from 9-1pm.
What's included?
Elementary MT students following a comprehensive program including Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Fitness and Flexibility, Acting Skills, Ensemble Singing, Musicality and Performance Skills.
Performance

Audition / entry requirements
