Training at Amara
At Amara every performer’s journey is different. Students can train through specialist Trinity Musical theatre tuition, develop their skills as part of our Junior or Senior musical theatre groups or combine both for a more rounded training experience.
From building confidence and discovering a love of performing to developing advanced skills and working towards graded qualifications and performance opportunities, training is designed to help every student progress at their own pace.
