We are beyond proud to have had over 50 students, aged between 9 and 17, nominated this year for Excellence Awards by their respective Examiners in both Singing and Drama Exams that took place at ITW Studios Clonskeagh and ITW Studios Drumcondra over the past Academic year.

We had to submit recordings of each student performing their nominated piece and they were in turn judged by a panel of Senior Examiners from the Leinster School of Music and Drama along with entries from all over Ireland.
We were thrilled to then discover that many of our students had placed in the top 10 in both Drama and Music.
