You’ll be exposed to diverse musical theatre styles and the essential musical skills of aural awareness training, music theory, and ensemble work specific to the genre. Thanks to our strong partnership with Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), you’ll take part in productions that emulate professional standards, providing authentic performance experiences. Our teaching model binds education and industry training and encourages you to experiment to find your unique creative identity in an inclusive environment. We support you with practical professional experience both on-stage and backstage, and the opportunity to work and learn alongside top-tier performers, creatives and performing arts professionals.
