HMDT MUSIC

I Can Sing! Music Theatre school offers students of all abilities the opportunity to experience the excitement of musical theatre training and performance. During I Can Sing!, students train in a variety of stage disciplines with leading professional artists, gaining new skills, confidence and friendships. There is no audition process, and, unlike similar schemes, I Can Sing! reinforces the ensemble performing tradition and focuses on repertoire ranging from classic Broadway to original HMDT Music commissions.

The Minis (School Years 1 and 2) take both a singing and drama/movement class and an instrumental class, through which they will develop strong team building skills and confidence, learn instrumental skills, and participate in exciting performances.

Year 1 – Students in year 1 will take a combined General Musicianship and Recorder class, alongside the I Can Sing! Mini group theatre session.

Year 2 – Students in school year 2 will take part in the Autumn term instrumental tasters, alongside the I Can Sing! Mini group theatre session. At the end of the Autumn term, students will then select which instrument they wish to learn for the Spring and Summer terms. Instrumental tasters and subsequent lessons will be 40 minute group lessons. At the end of the academic year, having tried both options, they will then make the choice to join I Can Sing! or the CYMH Instrumental School as their main programme. If they join I Can Sing!, instrumental lessons are still available as additional one-to-one lessons.
