What is a Musical?
by Drama Teacher Academy
In this lesson, students will establish a working definition of the musical theatre form as well as test their prior knowledge of musical theatre vocabulary terms. Students will explore three building blocks of the musical: different types of musicals; the concept of speak, sing, dance; and the difference between two key songs often found in the musical, the “I want” and the “I am” song. Lastly, students will start to think about their own voices and reflect on their skill set and confidence level with regard to singing in front of others.
