Tell me more about these classes?

Children, like adults, benefit greatly from having an end goal.
We all need something to work towards to drive us and to help us achieve our ambitions.

By participating in graded exams with the Leinster School of Music and Drama, this can help your child improve their speech and language skills, and confidence.
They will learn techniques to improve their presentation skills, including the importance of clear delivery and body language.

With more interviews and presentations moving online, learning online could be a hugely beneficial practice for your child alongside the more traditional face to face sessions.

How classes works?

Once you have completed your registration and we have assigned the suitable grade to your child based on age and previous experience, parents will gain access to the parents’ portal and have documentation of the material needed for each grade.

On receipt of this material children will be able to learn material at home between each session.
They will also be able to mark out new learning areas online during the sessions.

By participating in these 30 – 40 min online sessions, children are grouped according to their grade level and age, so the learning material is planned to meet their needs and they will have more individual attention and teacher/student time. Class times vary depending on the grade level at hand.

When the material is learned, and the pupils are ready – they can then opt to combine these online sessions with individual online sessions to specifically work on your child’s exam performance skills or they are welcome to attend face to face sessions with a small group to work on their performance and presentation skills in advance of their grade exams.

What makes us unique?

For Speech and Drama grade exams

The children are working in small groups online, tailored to suit their own age and grade level.
They will receive more individual attention and help than possible in a larger group setting. Parents can make arrangements for children to log in from the comfort of their own home or from another location e.g. child minder, if they are working.
The children will learn the material online and between the sessions and focus on delivery and meaning,

Live online sessions can be combined with pre recorded videos and additional aids  –

Your child will be guided through the material for their grade and given the chance to learn the material while engaging in the live sessions and during the week at home. This helps to teach the importance of responsibility for learning and studying their own work.
These sessions are then combined with a unique offer of either private tutorials or face to face sessions.

Children or young adults from anywhere in Ireland can engage with these virtual drama sessions with our school which will focus on preparing them for their relevant grades.

In our carefully planned and uniquely designed classes the children will engage in various activities which will help them to develop concentration skills, creativity, confidence building, speech work, social skills and acting
skills.
We begin with some warm up activities and games (there is a clear purpose to each drama game we choose).

We work on speech development and then move on to other aspects in drama, singing and/or dance.
We have always taken small numbers since 2017 as we are aware of the benefits of keeping the groups at a manageable and cohesive level so they benefit from group participation and get individual assistance when required.


From Emer’s teaching experience she understands that children will gain more from classes that haven’t too many children and she prioritises the quality of learning over the quantity.

These unique classes have been tailored to suit the varying age groups.
