MUSIC THEORY FOR MUSICAL THEATRE
WHAT WE DO
MTforMT expands your musical purview as a theatre performer so that you can depend less on learning solely from piano-plunked tracks, save time in the rehearsal room and at home, and gain an even deeper understanding of the notes that you sing.
There’s more to a theatre score than meets the ear. As music is used in theatre to express emotion and feelings of the characters onstage, isn’t it only right that the performers understand these nuances as well? Performers can only enrich their understanding of the characters that they portray by enhancing their understanding of the music that they sing.
MTforMT focuses solely on the relevant music theory that is needed in a rehearsal room and utilizes only musical theatre scores in the course.
MTforMT is not a replacement for higher education, rather it is an additive tool to give performers a leg up when they’re asked, “do you know music?” in an audition room—a tool that until now has been all too scarce.
TUTORING OPTION
We take the time to work with you individually outside of the main course which leaves room to focus on areas you need help with the most.
