London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art – LAMDA for Children

 

LAMDA for Children supports Key Stage skills in Learning English Does your child lack confidence? Does your child struggle with participating in school or making friends? Is your child finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate in school? Learning for LAMDA examinations are a great way to help your child develop a sense of individuality, strengthen attentiveness and define their character. The LAMDA examinations are divided into two main groups: Performance and Communication. We offer twelve week courses to prepare for communication and performance examinations. These lessons can be offered on a one-to-one basis or in small groups. Performance examinations focus largely on the performance process and learners will develop the skills necessary to communicate a dramatic text to an audience. Communication exams, however, focus on developing the skills to be able to effectively communicate orally. Both groups support the development of key skills in Key Stages 1 to 4 in learning English. The Performance examinations are an excellent path way for young children beginning to define a sense of their own identity. Through the exploration of different texts, writers and characters the young learners are encouraged to experiment with their very own character. Particularly for very nervous or insecure young children, performing under the guise of another character allows them to freely express themselves. Furthermore, learners are encouraged to combat any nerves that may be restricting the growth of their personality, as they build relationships with the text, space, their teacher and their audience. They are also taught about spatial awareness and lessons often involve the exploration of the presence they can have in a space using bodily and facial expressions. - See more...
