Stagecoach pupils stage success story


Pupils at a leading Carmarthenshire performing arts school have been successful in the latest round of prestigious national examinations.
The youngsters took part in a variety of exams under the umbrella of LAMDA, The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
“The exams are always a good test of ability and the LAMDA certificates are highly valued by the pupils,” said Stagecoach Carmarthen principal Liane Davies.
All members of the Main school for ages 6 - 16 attained a merit or distinction in group musical theatre grades.
One student obtained a bronze medal in musical theatre and one was awarded a silver medal.
In the group performances, the following results were recorded –
Stage 1 - Merit – for the Medley from the musical Cats.
Stage2 - Distinction –Oklahoma.
Stage 3 - Merit - Sister Act and Sweeney Todd.
Stagecoach Carmarthen principal Liane Davies added: “The LAMDA examinations are an excellent benchmark for assessing the standards of our pupils and we are very proud of their achievements.
“LAMDA exams are rigorous and challenging for the pupils.
“For example, group introductory examinations are designed to stimulate the imagination and develop basic communication in an interactive situation. Learners who prepare themselves appropriately will develop: communication skills (the ability to share a poem with others), memory skills (the ability to learn words and recall them aloud) and interactive skills (the ability to work in an ensemble).”
