Declaring A Minor
Shenandoah students work with their Academic Advisor to declare a minor. Academic Advisors will continue to work with students to ensure that they fulfill all of the requirements to complete the minor.
Incoming students should not indicate their intended minor on their Shenandoah application; applications are for intended majors only.
Career Preparation and Alumni
我们大多数(通常是70-90%)的大四学生毕业时都有暑期股票或全年合同, and then move to New York City after their contract is complete. Students have gone on to performing careers on Broadway, off-Broadway, national and international tours, regional theatres, cruise ships, theme parks, renaissance fairs, outdoor dramas, educational theatre and TV/Film. Off the stage you can find our alumni casting for theatre, television, and film; working as agents; creating new works (film, theatre, and musical theatre); directing, music directing, choreographing, and running theatre companies. A few have gone on to careers outside of the performing arts, but the majority of our graduates find work related to their field. Here are just a few examples of our successful alumni:

Classes
Our hands-on approach to training the whole performer/artist is unique. We cater to each student as an individual, not a number, and we challenge our students while maintaining a nurturing community. Acting and dance courses are an ongoing part of your training, as well as weekly 50-minute private voice lessons. 学生,包括大一新生,每学期都要参加所有音乐剧和戏剧的试镜.

Acting
斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基是所有现代表演技巧的基础. His American successors, including Uta Hagen, Lee Strasberg, 迈斯纳以他的核心概念为基础,将技术应用于各种类型的戏剧和镜头前工作. 为了确保我们项目中的每一个学生都能得到一致的培训, 我们为学生设计了独一无二的迈斯纳培训项目. 我们相信这种以练习为基础的训练系统可以帮助学生磨练他们的本能, making them more effective in a wide range of styles. To make sure our graduates are well rounded, 从大二开始,他们还学习了包括Uta Hagen在内的一系列其他技术, Stanislavsky, and Chekhov just to name a few. We also offer an Acting for the Camera course since many musicals are now being filmed and/or broadcast live on television. Additionally students further their exploration of diverse approaches to storytelling through student-run groups including Shut up its Shakespeare, Playwrights, The Loaf Comedy Improv Group, and many others.
Dance
Dance training is critical for today’s musical theatre performer. At Shenandoah Conservatory, 我们有两个舞蹈曲目:高级曲目和初级/中级曲目. You can switch into the advanced track as needed, 但我们的目标是给予这两种技能水平的个人关注,让他们在这项业务中取得成功. Students take two dance classes every semester and cover ballet, jazz, tap and musical theatre styles over the course of their four years. Elective classes are also available, allowing students to customize their training to fit their needs.
Voice
If you listen to the way revivals are performed today, it is a very different approach than used in the original productions (listen to a few examples here). Therefore, we train students to perform the classics with a contemporary approach so that they can be competitive upon graduation. While the classics are great, research from our Janette Ogg Voice Research Center 55%的纽约海选要求播放当代流行歌曲或流行摇滚组合的海选歌曲. It is because of the shifting industry standards that we were the first school to fully embrace pop/rock vocal training. Students spend the first three years of their training focusing on traditional and contemporary musical theatre repertoire. In the freshmen year, they take a vocal styles course to learn how to stylize songs from all the genres they will encounter as a musical theatre performer. They also have the opportunity to work with their teacher on pop/rock songs for auditions and assignments in acting through song. To compliment their coursework, we program our season to include a wide range of traditional, contemporary and pop/rock repertoire so they can put those skills to use. In the fourth year, students work with Matt Edwards one-on-one for an in-depth study of pop/rock styles. To train singers to be this versatile, our voice faculty use an evidence-based, functional approach to vocal training. 这就是语言病理学家和纽约顶级音乐剧语音老师培训客户的方式. Finally, we take vocal health very seriously and are happy to say that new vocal injuries caused by misuse are non-existent in our program.
Additional Training
All of the skills above may help you land the job of your dreams, but then you need to know how to keep it and pay your bills. Through workshops, masterclasses, and our Prep for the Profession course, students leave Shenandoah thinking of themselves as a small business. By graduation, they have a website that is coordinated with their headshot, resume, and a strong social media presence. They know how to contact agents and casting directors, how to find and interpret casting calls, the benefits and pitfalls of unions, and how to navigate a lifelong career in the arts.
