As the capstone of this series of units, your learning activities will focus on the synthesis of all the skills you have acquired through the previous five units. You will be expected to perform to a high standard in a range of practical work that exhibits cumulative learning in all performance elements for the music theatre singer. At this advanced level, a greater degree of insight and personal reflection, as evidenced through practice, is expected. You will study complex aspects of vocal technique in your development as a music theatre singer with an advanced exploration of music theatre vocal repertoire. As part of your singing technique, you will explore the phonetic aspects of the French and Mandarin languages in selected songs. This will be supported by more advanced levels of music theory, including aspects of song-writing and arranging, aural musicianship and piano keyboard for your development as a music theatre singer.
