INTRODUCTORY SYLLABUS

The LAMDA INTRODUCTORY Syllabus is taught during our ACT 1 Musical Theatre Classes. Children work on three stages:

STAGE ONE - My Puppy by Debra Bertulis

STAGE TWO - The Folk Who Live in Backward Town by Mary Ann Hoberman

STAGE THREE - Riddle by Colin West

WHAT STAGE IS MY CHILD WORKING TOWARDS?

Aged 3-4 (Nursery Age)
It is very unlikely we will enter a 3 year old for an examination, but exceptionas are sometimes made. 4 years olds should be aiming towards their first exam. Please speak with Daniel if you feel you would like to submit an assessment video, but are unsure if your child is ready. The first exam is Stage 1 - My Puppy.

Aged 4-5 (Reception Class / No Previous Exams)
Stage 1 - My Puppy

Aged 4-5 (Reception Class / Already Taken Stage 1)
Stage 2 - The Folk Who Live in Backward Town

Aged 5-6 (School Year 1 / No Previous Exams)
Stage 2 - The Folk Who Live in Backward Town

Aged 5-6 (School Year 1 / Already Taken Stage 1 or Already Taken Stage 2)
Stage 3 - The Riddle

As Year 1 will be completing their Introductory training at the end of this term we are happy for them to skip Stage 2 providing they have already taken Stage 1 or move straight to Stage 2 if they are new to LAMDA.

HOW TO ENTER THE EXAMINATION

An information video has been made for each stage so parents are aware of the exam requirements and assessments. If you would like your child to be submitted please watch the correct information video below.

You will be required to video record your child performing their poem and answering questions about their toy (Stage 1), picture (stage 2) and book (Stage 3). Details on questions can be found in the information videos. Children should also teach a game (Stage 1), talk about an activity (Stage 2) and give a synopsis of their book (Stage 3). 

Please send this self tape to Daniel for assessment. This assessment will cost £10.00. This fee will be added onto your exam invoice. Videos should be recorded in low resolution (See your phone settings) and either emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or uploaded to YouTube (unlisted link) or Dropbox (link).

Please make sure you have read the examination costs below. We will not be entering any children for an August examination who have not made at least a 75% contribution towards their ACT 1 fees.

DEADLINE: Monday 8th June
