Seven Freemen’s pupils have been rewarded for their Musical Theatre endeavours, achieving some exceptional results in examinations through the London College of Music.
Mrs Leah Perona-Wright, one of Freemen's peripatetic singing teachers, explained the importance of this course; “Musical theatre really encourages communications skills. Key to being a singer is to tell a story and be able to capture the emotion in a moment in time. It really encourages them to engage.”
During the examinations, the Freemen’s pupils displayed a range of abilities; singing and performing a set number of pieces, as well as demonstrating a thorough understanding of their historical context.
The girls were awarded as follows;
Mei Thum, Grade 1 – Distinction
Amy Field, Grade 4 – Distinction
Clara Harris, Grade 5 – Distinction
Alice Heath, Grade 5 – Distinction
Pippa Haslam, Grade 5 – Distinction
Izzy Webb, Grade 6 – Distinction
Bethan Roberts, Grade 6 – Distinction
On why she enjoys Musical Theatre so much, Bethan Roberts, from Upper 6 explained; “I enjoy performing and learning the stories behind the music, it is a fun way to tell a story.”
Congratulations to them all!
