These are the first songs we will be looking at. Please make sure you have listened to them before next week.
The lyrics can be found here and here .
Suggestions for other chorus songs (Musical Theatre songs, please) can be emailed to:

Solo singing:
Musical Theatre students will need to be working on solo songs. For Dance students, it is optional.Starting next week, each week part of the lesson will be spent working on solo songs. Those of you confident doing so will work with me on your songs in front of the class; those of you who are less confident will work with just me (with one or two friends in the room if you would like).
All songs should be from the Musical Theatre repertoire - ie. songs from shows. Songs from films are acceptable.
It is important that you get used to working with an accompanist. Therefore, you will have to provide sheet music for each song you sing. There is a selection of scores in the library at college (including the Musical Theatre Anthologies which have selections of songs published by voice type.)
Other good places for scores:
Westminster Music Library
Barbican Library
Foyles on Charing Cross Road
Chappells
Argents / Music Room
All MT students need to bring sheet music for at least one song to every lesson. If you are using a score too heavy to carry comfortably, bring it once, let me know and I will photocopy it.
