MUSICAL DEPARTMENT

■Musical Major

EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS WILL GUIDE STUDENTS ON A ONE-TO-ONE BASIS. 'SONG, DANCE, ACTING, AND MORE', CREATE A PERFORMANCE CAPABLE OF TOUCHING ONE'S HEART.

MUSICAL

Conveying a message to spectators through song, dance and acting is what musicals are about. 'Song, dance and acting' are the three components required for one to be able to use the entire body to express emotion clearly. At SHOBI, the curriculum is such that these three components will be taught in a well-balanced manner that works in accordance to each student's individual abilities; even beginners will have nothing to worry about. Furthermore, there are many opportunities to stand on stages not only within but also outside of school. There are also trainers available to provide guidance on proper body care and maintenance. Through this experience students will learn how to touch people's hearts with their performances.
