For over 7 years, Speech and Drama Scotland has been running exciting drama classes for children and young people in St Charles’ Church hall. 2 hours of qualified tuition includes improvisation, movement, vocal technique, breathing, expression and diction from the London College of Music graded syllabus with a 100% examination pass rate. Students master performance in drama, poetry and prose, which arms them with key public speaking skills for their future.
