We encourage all of our Combined and Individual students to enter at least one internationally recognised and respected performance related examination each year, including L.A.M.D.A Acting, Vanguard Poetry & Speech and the Trinity-Guildhall Singing Examination Syllabus.
We feel that partaking, and ultimately gaining qualifications within these examination bodies, will not only focus and encourage each student in their performance related studies, but also presents a fantastic opportunity to increase their academic points when it comes to applying for university and college places.
Each student taking part will be led by our expert teachers throughout the entire process, who will guide the student through each piece ensuring that understanding of characterisation, motivation and subtext are met equally by good technique, technical knowledge and appropriate repertoire. Our success rates in all exams are exemplary, testament to the knowledge and dedication of all our tutors who coach students towards the examination day.
