Join Amanda Trusty in this special workshop focusing on foundational Musical Theatre and theory training!

Adults interested in improving their musical sight-reading and performance skills are invited to join Amanda Trusty on Saturday, September 14, for a workshop focusing on the core elements of Musical Theatre and music theory training!

Musical Theatre and Theory will offer the tools needed to engage in musical theatre performance for folks with previous performance experience. This workshop will cover the foundations of music theory, music notation, vocal techniques, musical theatre education, and self-care for adult artists. This workshop will also serve as a bridge between previous acting and vocal experience and the upcoming Intermediate Musical Theatre series.

Students must wear toe-covered shoes and bring a water bottle. If you are unsure if this class is a healthy fit for you, or whether you should register for “Beginner” or “Intermediate Musical Theatre” first, please email the teacher directly by visiting our website.
