Building Confidence and Creativity with Mountview Exams
Many parents and carers are already fully aware of the transformative effect drama classes can have on their children. Whether the aim is making friends, working creatively alongside others, expressing individuality or simply boosting self-confidence, performing can be a great way to inspire and challenge young minds.
One way to take your child’s love of performing to the next level is through graded qualifications. These are often organised by their drama teacher and offer a way for young performers to nurture their skills and experience the thrill of working towards a recognised qualification.
Mountview, one of the UK’s leading drama schools, launched Mountview Exams (MX) to stand out from traditional and often restrictive performing arts qualifications. The exam process has been specifically developed to challenge the status quo:
• child-centred, flexible and fun
• perfect for building confidence, creativity and communication skills
• delivered in front of a peer audience of performers
• suitable from age 4+ with no upper age limit
• overseen by an industry-trained examiner
“It was a wonderfully relaxed and positive experience. The examiner immediately put both myself and the performers at ease, creating an atmosphere that felt supportive rather than intimidating. From the moment they arrived, their calm and friendly manner helped settle any nerves!" - Rachel Calvert, Centre Stage Theatre Academy.
