I think that audition option is really just to allow auditioners to show their strengths. Personally, I know that I can show more by singing a belt song and a head voice song than I can by singing one and doing a dance... If you're daughter is an excellent dancer, by all means, show them that. Sometimes, if they feel her one song doesn't show enough, they will vocalize them or ask for another piece... they'll make sure they've seen what they need to from every student.
Also... she will absolutely not be placed into a special dancer section of the department... it's a small program, about 16 kids per class, and although we all have our strengths, we all learn together. The only thing that could possibly happen to her course opportunities is they might let her skip a beginning level dance class... although that is rare. I'm not sure if that answered what you are asking... if not, let me know.
Yes, music theatre majors take acting with acting majors.
Yes, we take music theory, aural skills, sight reading, piano, and must sing in an ensemble.l |
