Theatre Buildings

What to look for

The Theatre Buildings sit between the Pear Tree Cafe (marked "Corporation Buildings") and the Theatre Royal itself. The words "Theatre Buildings" are etched in the glass above the door.

Where to park

If you're coming by bus or train, it's literally a few minutes' walk away. If you're driving, there's plenty of paid on-street parking around there, and a good few public car parks (all parking is free after 6pm). There are also a number of 2 hour free bays if you're lucky enough to find an empty one! Here's a map showing where they all are:

Specialist Lessons

• Musical TheatreAn efficient Musical Theatre (MT) technique should allow you to express subtle changes in mood, regardless of where you are in your vocal range. In other words, you must be able to sing ANY note in ANY tone of voice.
• OperaOpera is a high energy form of singing, with huge physical requirements, involving projecting the voice to the back of a theatre, over an orchestra and without any amplification. Opera singers have to undergo specific training to meet these demands.
• PopTraditional, Classically-based singing lessons are not appropriate for modern commercial singers. To learn to sing Pop and R&B, you need to understand the very different requirements of each style, and how to adapt your voice to meet those requirements.
• RockIn the high energy, high pressure world of Rock singing, it's easy to lose confidence in your vocals. Rock is unlike any other style of singing. And unique styles need unique techniques.
