Introduction

Assessment

Students are continually assessed within their class however, formal assessments take place in Spring with the issuing of a report and the opportunity for parents to come in and discuss the progress of their child with staff. If a student is recommended for upgrade to the next level of class, this would normally take place following the formal assessments. Alternatively, staff may feel that the student would benefit from further time at the same level. It is different for every child. 

Class hours

The Preparatory MT Course runs on Tuesdays from 6.30-9.30pm and Sundays from 4.30-7.30pm totalling 6 hours per week.

What's included?

Preparatory MT students following a comprehensive program including Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Acting Skills & Ensemble Singing.

Performance

Performing is an important element of the MT courses at GAMTA.   Students of the Preparatory MT Course appear in panto at Glasgow's SECC Lomond Theatre as ensemble and perform in a musical/revue in June.

Audition / entry requirements

Students may audition for the Preparatory MT Course if they are entering P5 - S5.  Initial selection is via the Open Day.  We look for an enthusiasm and interest in each student and a strength in one of the three core skills - singing, acting or dance.
