Students will develop a thorough understanding of the specific elements of music theatre song including text, structure, tonality and compositional devices. Students will be expected to show their theoretical understanding through compositional tasks. Students will learn to analyse music theatre repertoire in depth and interpret songs to support the vocal and dramatic choices made in performance.
