London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) Exam newbies





The long-awaited LAMDA exams came and went, and in the words of one of the learners - 'I'm so happy I don't have to practise and practise anymore!' Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable experience for all including some of our new candidates pictured above during one of our practice sessions.  They bravely took the introductory drama exams in their stride.  These exams serve to familiarise kids with the structure of LAMDA exams to come - reciting a short poem and then chatting about a favourite picture or book with the examiner who comes from the UK. This year, most kids were entered for the Speaking Verse and Prose exams and next year we will be exploring topics for Speaking in Public.
