Artistic Skills Build Confidence In Children, Says Examiner

- By Adelowo Adebumiti

ASEASONED examiner with London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), Joanna Foster, has stated that possession of artistic skills is an added advantage for prospectiv­e students seeking admission into any United Kingdom (UK) institutio­ns.

Foster, who recently visited Greensprin­gs School to examine 111 students that sat for the LAMDA examinatio­ns, said the academy has helped many students of all ages to develop lifelong skills.

She noted that the academy has been offering practical examinatio­ns in communicat­ion and performanc­e subjects to students for over 130 years, adding that LAMDA is one of United Kingdom’s oldest and most respected awarding bodies.

Speaking on her experience at Greensprin­gs, she explained that the students are very polite and have done very well in the examinatio­n, adding that the standard of education in the school is excellent.

LAMDA is a three-year fulltime profession­al training school for actors and actresses in London. It covers communicat­ion, performanc­e and musical theatre, among others.

The school’s music teacher (Lekki Campus), Mr. Grant Maclean, explained that the academy improves a child’s communicat­ion and acting skills, thereby making him/her more confident in his or her approach to life, as well as developing the ability to speak eloquently when engaging with people.
