Music Directing for Theatre - Spring - MD - North Bethesda, MD 2020

Description (Age: 15+) What would MUSIC THEATRE BE WITHOUT MUSIC? The great works of Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Rodgers and Hammerstein couldn't be enjoyed without the people behind the scenes who make it happen, one of the most important being the MUSIC DIRECTOR. In this course, students hone the skills necessary to succeed as a MUSIC DIRECTOR FROM WORKING WITH ACTORS AND THE CREATIVE TEAM IN THE REHEARSAL ROOM ALL THE WAY THROUGH CONDUCTING THE PIT ON OPENING NIGHT. Each session focuses on a style matching the current show being rehearsed by Levine MUSIC THEATRE. Students have the opportunity to work with the professional MUSICIANS FROM THE PRODUCTION AS MUSIC THEATRE PIT PERFORMANCE STUDENTS AND LEVINE MUSIC THEATRE PERFORMANCE STUDENTS PRESENT A CONCERT OF THEIR WORK AT THE END OF THE CLASS. Students must have a letter of recommendation from a Levine Faculty Member, their private instructor, school MUSIC TEACHER, or MUSICAL THEATRE DIRECTOR.
