Musical Theatre: Grade 4 🎶

From Preparatory Grade through to Diploma, our Musical Theatre exams develop much more than performance skills.

At Grade 4, learners explore characterisation, emotion and storytelling, while also developing important vocal skills. With a strong focus on warm-ups and breathing technique, learners build healthy habits to support their voices and performances.

Grade 3 Screen Acting 🎥

In Grade 3, learners continue to develop the key techniques needed for acting on camera. From creating believable characters to performing naturally in front of the lens, the exam encourages confidence, creativity and an understanding of how screen acting differs from stage performance.

Over Hill, Over Dale ✨

"Over Hill, Over Dale" is one of the enchanting fairy scenes from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, introducing the magical woodland world where mischief, magic and imagination come to life.

Performing this piece helps learners develop characterisation, vocal expression and physical storytelling while exploring the rhythm and imagery of Shakespeare's language.
