The Oxford School of Drama

The Six Month Foundation Course in Musical Theatre is for you if you want to develop a strong singing technique before taking up further studies in musical theatre.  The course will help you to develop a flexible, healthy voice, introduce you to the range of techniques required to act through song, and give you a wider appreciation of the musical theatre repertoire.

The course is aimed at those aged 17 and upwards, though most students on the course will be 18 or 19 years old.  It lasts two terms and is full-time with 32 hours of tuition per week and a high level of individual attention.  It runs from September to March, so if you are taking a gap year you can still have several  months to spend travelling or working after the end of the course.  The course will be run and taught by a team of experienced teachers, directors and actor/singers, the majority of whom also teach on the the School's full-time courses.

Entry is by audition only and there are no academic requirements, so even if you haven't studied singing but have enjoyed performing in school or youth theatre productions, you are eligible to apply.
