THEN PATTISONS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
Aims of the course
Pattisons Three Year Musical Theatre Course prepares students aged 16+ for careers both as performers and teachers. We recognise that the commercial theatre demands an all round training to enable students to enter their chosen profession with the necessary skills and qualifications in dance, drama and singing.
What will I study?
Year 1 - Foundation Course where subjects which may be new to the students are introduced. These include:
Ballet,
Modern,
Jazz/ Freestyle,
Contemporary,
Tap and Theatrecraft,
National,
Ballroom & Latin American,
Body conditioning,
Improvisation,
Dance composition,
Double work,
Mime,
Drama,
Singing,
Audition technique
Years 2 & 3
Timetables are constructed to meet the student's individual needs through consultation with the Course Director. The progress of each student continues to be closely monitored.
Will I take examinations?
Yes, students are encouraged to take external examination both as performers and where the necessary standards have been achieved, as teachers in recognised examination boards. At the end of the course a good hardworking student should leave with a minimum of four Associates (the first teaching examination) in various types of dance, as well as qualification in drama and singing.
What examination boards are studied?
Ballet: R.A.D., I.S.T.D., I.D.T.A.

In a well established theatre school like Pattisons, there is ample opportunity for the enthusiastic student teacher to assist in various activities with younger pupils - show rehearsals, examination sessions, summer school, performing arts workshops etc.
Will I have the chance to teach?
Invaluable experience in the preparation for teaching qualifications is gained by assisting in classes with younger pupils at the Coventry headquarters, but also at out branches in Kenilworth, Lillington, Cubbington and Whitnash.
Student teachers are also given the chance to practise teaching under the guidance of our senior staff. This valuable on-site training was a point praised in the latest Ofsted inspection.
What about performing?
All students are given the opportunity to participate in various productions staged at the College or the local theatre, thus enabling them to gain performance experience.
They are also involved in professional engagements including cabaret, fashion shows, advertising and pantomimes, although students are not allowed to undertake any professional work during their training without approval of the Principal or Course Director. Equally, Students must consult with the Course Director before attending auditions.
How much will the course cost?
Fees at the moment are £2,000 per term until Easter 2007. Wholesome,healthy lunches cooked on the premisis are included in the fees. Scholarships are awarded at the annual auditions for the course.
Accomodation may also also be made to some students.
How long is the term?
There are approximately 40 working weeks, divided into 3 terms, each with one week's half term break.
When do the fees have to be paid?
Fees are due before the start of each term. A monthly standing order facility can be set up to help spread the expense.
Are there extras?
Just examination fees.
Could I get a grant?
Discretionary grants are available from some local authorities.
Can I combine my 3 year course with any academic subjects?
Yes, it is possible to join in with a GCSE class if you need to improve a grade for example, at no extra cost.
What about accommodation?
We do have a house 5 minutes walk away from the College, where Students stay for a very competitive rate, currently £50 per week term time only for a single room,less if shared. Gas and Electricity are metred.
What will my employment prospects be like?
Excellent! Former Pattison students regularly appear in West End Productions and indeed worldwide. In Cabaret work at the Lido, the Moulin Rouge, Japan ,Canada and America as well as in the ever expanding cruise lines business, Pattison Students abound!
Others choose to teach Dance and have set up schools not only in Britain but in New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Canada and America to mention but a few.
Promotional work, choreography, television, the pop industry - the list is endless! Pattison Students have a reputation for hard work and professionalism as a result of the demanding standards expected of them by the staff.
