Located within the historic King Charles Court at the Old Royal Naval College Greenwich, Trinity College of Music richly deserves its international reputation as one of the premier institutions in the United Kingdom for the study of music, and more recently musical theatre. Trinity is known for fostering and promoting a caring and supportive environment in which students flourish. Our partnership with Laban, our location alongside the River Thames and Greenwich Park, our highly distinguished and talented staff and our innovative and comprehensive programmes make Trinity the natural choice for those seeking the best in professional musical theatre training.

Trinity College of Music runs two undergraduate musical theatre training programmes, both designed to prepare young performers for careers in the musical theatre industry. Both courses are taught by highly experienced musical theatre professionals (see below for more detail).

You can see our current students’ work in the following public performances:

• “Hollywood Party/Music by Rodgers”: 23-24 June Blackheath Concert Halls

The Foundation Degree in Musical Theatre: Performance is a two-year performance-based vocational degree designed to enable committed students with appropriate singing, acting and dance skills to prepare themselves for entry into the musical theatre industry. The programme is delivered in partnership with Reynolds Performing Arts, based in Bexley. Students have individual singing lessons and group skills classes in singing, acting and dance (including ballet, jazz and tap), all led by highly experienced teacher-practitioners. In addition, the programme includes classes in music theory, musical theatre history, study-skills and professional development. Students rehearse and perform in a number of public productions each year, working with Directors, Musical Directors and Choreographers from the musical theatre industry.

The BA (Hons) in Musical Theatre: Performance is new a one-year top-up course, due to start in September 2009 (subject to validation). The programme is designed to enable committed musical theatre students with an FDA musical theatre qualification or equivalent to continue their training in musical theatre whilst also gaining a BA (Hons) qualification. This innovative project-based course encourages students to raise their existing skills further and has a strong focus on maximising their potential employability in musical theatre.
