Royal Academy of Music: Musical Theatre Masters!
Donation protected
Hi Everyone!
I have found myself in the incredibly fortunate position of having been offered a place to study for an M.A. in Musical Theatre Performance at the Royal Academy of Music starting in September 2019! It is an amazing fulfillment of a dream for me and I am incredibly excited at the opportunity to undertake rigorous, full time training under the guidance of some of the best teachers in the world. Not only will I receive classes in Acting, Singing and Dancing, but I will take classes preparing me for the realities of the theatre industry and how best to carve a path through it. After graduating I hope to make my way into the competitive world of Musical Theatre, and this course will give me the very best possible start!
I am unfortunately not eligible for postgraduate student finance so will be self funding this course. The course itself is very expensive at £15,600 for the one year Masters and with living expenses/travel, the total will be around £20,000. I have worked every summer since leaving school and saved wherever I could, but I am still quite a way off from being able to afford the course. Overall I will need to raise another £10,000 for me to have a realistic chance of being able to accept my offer.
I am writing to as many arts foundations as I can possibly be eligible for and have secured an online tutoring job which I hope to begin straight after exams but I still don't think I'll be able to reach this goal. I am really trying everything I can, but I think I'll need some help from friends if I'm going to make it happen. Any amount that you could give would be massively appreciated, even if it is £1 or less, I am hoping that many small donations will add up and be able to cut out a large chunk of these course fees. I am very proud of having been offered a place on this course, especially off the back of a Physics and Chemistry degree, and I truly hope that I am able to attend next year.
Thank you so much for your support and I very much appreciate you taking the time to read this!
