TWO-YEAR MUSICAL THEATRE

Our TWO-YEAR SIXTH FORM COURSE offers a top quality alternative to A Levels and gives our students a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative and Performing Arts (verified by RSL) which is the equivilent to 'A Levels' (and up to 168 UCAS points). Our full-time vocational course runs from September to July each academic year and focuses on exceptional training in singing, dancing and acting, working towards consolidating technical and performance skills alongside a small amount of course-work with just under 50 hours of practical tuition per week including a weekly one-to-one singing lesson. 


Using our direct links with the UK's leading Musical Theatre training academies, our aim is for all our students to either obtain a place on their chosen course at their desired performing arts institution or obtain professional work within the industry by the end of the two year's tuition.


Prospective students (aged 16 and above) must have a strong passion for the performing arts and a solid technical training in singing, acting and dancing, with the determination to be the best they can be. They must be prepared for a tough schedule of classes each week, including body conditioning and stretch classes. 


All tuition will takes place at our studio complex in Canterbury, Kent, led by our incomparable faculty of leading industry professionals. 


Each year includes two performance opportunities at the nearby Malthouse Theatre, including an Industry Showcase (in March) performed to an invited audience of agents, casting directors and colleges and a full-scale musical production (in July) to give our students the chance to experience a professional rehearsal process. 


A typical day at JGHA starts at 8.30am with a company warm-up and include Ballet, Jazz, Acting, Voice and Singing, finishing at 5.30pm. We will also offer weekly classes in Tap, Contemporary, Commercial, Musicianship, Audition Technique and Acrobatics.
