LAMDA Musical Theatre Exams
To take our LAMDA Musical Theatre exams at CTA, students must attend one of our other Musical Theatre classes. Students are invited to join our LAMDA Musical Theatre exam classes from age 7. In our LAMDA MT classes, students will develop their acting skills through song. Students explore characterisation through monologues or duologues, which are performed in character and act as an introduction to their songs. They’ll also deepen their understanding of the history of musical theatre by performing songs from a range of eras, and by researching the work and influence of one of its composers or lyricists. Students in these classes have gone on to star in West End shows and UK tours.
Students can either take their LAMDA Musical Theatre exams by themselves (solo) or with a fellow student(duo) with exams leading to UCAS Points as they develop through the grades.
