音乐剧留学选校必须要弄明白这些事儿!

相较古典歌剧较为小众的受众群体，音乐剧以其现代化，国际化，市场化的特点瞬间燃爆整个国内演出市场，同时不失戏剧性和多元性的特色使音乐剧也具有相应的门槛和标准。中国音乐剧市场规模近三年来每年都几乎成倍扩大，在这样的大环境下，想要学习的音乐剧的同学也就越来越多。

今天我们就来重点说说音乐剧留学要注意哪些问题?

1，关于国家

伦敦西区和纽约百老汇是世界上唯二两个可以成为世界音乐剧中心的地方，同时也带动了奥利弗奖和托尼奖这两个戏剧类奖项的发展。这代表着，英美在音乐剧表演、教育、后台制作等方面享有其他国家无法比拟的资源。更多的资源也就意味着更多的机会，毫无疑问都是英美院校能提供更多的可能。

英美院校教学质量过硬，课程安排合理，所以单从学校的教育质量来看，英美院校的认可度更高。

2，关于选校

不要一味的相信学校排名!有些排名高的院校未必专业好，排名不好的院校未必专业差，要是一味的只看排名，会少丢掉很多选择机会。

确定好学校后，一定要确定自己申请的学校是否有这个专业，本科还是研究生!有一些学校是只有本科没有硕士的，比如卡内基梅隆、密歇根安娜堡等。有一些学校甚至没有音乐剧专业，比如茱莉亚音乐学院。不要盲目的相信网上的信息，不一定准确，否则到了申请的时候没有专业可以申请那就悲剧了!

3，关于语言

在音乐剧方面，英语系的剧目还是牢牢占据着统治地位，而且在影响力方面对其他语种呈现碾压之势。

如果你的英语不好，那要加油了~音乐剧专业作为“表演类艺术之王”，对于口语和听力的要求非常高，像是皇家苏格兰硕士专业都要求7.5以上的雅思成绩，更有甚者，还有学校要求雅思达到8.0以上。

关于作品集

要给自己留足够的时间准备。在准备留学申请和作品集的过程中，总会遇到各种各样的问题，所以越早开始准备越好。

选择合适的作品非常重要!在学校规定的曲目和独白范围内，选择适合自己年龄、性格、音色、音域的作品，能起到事半功倍的效果，也会省去很多不必要的麻烦。

在录制之前，需要多多练习选的作品，留出一些时间，抛开其他的事情，专心准备最后的录制，从录制前两周开始调整自己的心情和状态，让自己保持在最佳的状态。
