1st Week of School

The whole reason I am here in New York City is for school. I am studying Musical Theatre at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. This is actually the very first year of their full time musical theatre program. I am so excited to be apart of this very first graduating class. I attended their first summer musical theatre intensive program during the summer of 2017 and fell in love with the school. I am overjoyed to be back, this time for two years of musical theatre training.

This semester I have classes like Ballet, Vocal Technique, Voice/Speech, Movement, Acting, Music Theory, and History of Musical Theatre, as well as a weekly private vocal lesson. I am definitely a full time student. I have school 5 days a week, and between all my classes I am in school almost 30 hours a week, so school definitely keeps me busy. My first week of classes was awesome. I love all of my classmates and my teachers. There are twelve students in my class, including myself, from all over the world. Altogether we represent four different countries. I am very excited to learn with all of them. I am also very excited to learn from all of my teachers. Already in the first week of classes I have learned so much. There are a few classes that I didn’t expect to love, but I really do. For example, I didn't think I was going to enjoy Music Theory all that much, but it turned out to be one of the classes I am most excited about. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I look forward to every class. I know that as the semester goes on I am going to be pushed hard and it is going to get more and more challenging, but that makes me excited. So the first week of college was a success and now I have a nice long weekend to get ready for the second week of class.
