Musical Theatre Study Abroad programs

<p>Spring semester of junior year at Catholic University, musical theatre majors can study in London at the London Dramatic Academy run by Fordham. During that semester, there is no musical training, but there is a lot of acting training and you get movement in with stage combat and such even though there is no dance. You also have to take some sort of speech class over there, so while it isn’t voice, apparently many of the students come back better singers because of what they were taught in that class. You also get to see a lot of theatre in the city. I believe it is something similar to what Ithaca does in London.
The only thing is, depending on how you place into your music theory classes freshman year, you may have to take a class or two over the summer in order to be eligible to go. They want to make sure you have all your theory, ear training, and sight singing before you go.</p>
