First of all I would just like to thank the amazing staff and teachers at Arts1. Because of their professional, fun and exciting approach to teaching I was able to achieve what I needed in order to progress to where I am today.

Arts1 is like no other school I've been to, each term provided a new, exciting project. From working with West-End cast members, learning singing techniques and dance styles as well as taking part in challenging Acting projects

I was lucky enough to be in a couple of the Arts1 showcases where as a team we produced fantastic performances, and again working in such a professional manner. The opportunities provided gave me such an insight to the profession, I'm so happy I got to work along
side the teachers and the friends I made at Arts1

Arts1 has been an absolutely amazing experience. It has helped my confidence grow and my talent develop in a supportive environment. The shows are a highlight of the year and the productions are always working to such a professional standard that you are continually learning and gaining experience.

Through advice given, Arts1 has guided me to the next step in my life and opened up many opportunities for me. I've been given the chance to do so many things thanks to the school such as extra work in television, participating in a film, working as a zone presenter for Nick Jr and performing at Woburn Safari Park. Being given the chance to chaperone as well as be a student was wonderful because it meant I was able to work with all ages and take on a more responsible role. I gained valuable experience by being able to watch and assist the class.

Arts1 is truly 1 big family and I am proud to be apart of it.

Coming Soon

 

I Began Arts1 classes when I was 17, looking for some extra musical theatre training on top of my college course. What I got was much more than I could ever have asked. Three Years later, thanks to the training and support I have continually received from the Arts1 team, I am beginning a new venture to study at Italia Conti.

The team will always do anything they can to help you perform to the best of your ability while helping you grow as an all round performer. Its the best thing I have ever done! I'm going to miss everyone so much, and will be back to visit any chance I get!

I don't know what I'd be doing now if it wasn't for the help I was given and the skills I acquired from Arts1. I was there from the beginning and being a part of what started out as a small, but ambitious school was such an exciting experience. In the time I was there, I got so much experience in performing.

We put on huge musicals, we did script work from shows such as blood brothers, we were put through performance classes where we'd get up and sing then receive feedback. I even got to spend a day in a professional recording studio.
I can't thank James and Rebecca enough, because without them I doubt I'd be at such an incredible institution studying to become a professional!

My time with arts1 gave me solid foundations in order to continue training in a professional sector. I believe its the only establishment to teach true Musical Theatre training in the area.

The variety of opportunity, the personal approach and the method in which it is delivered makes the school unique, and of very high quality. I cannot thank the team enough for their continued support since I have left, and for the remarkable teaching and opportunities that I have received.

Having known Rebecca and James for many years, I am very grateful for their advice and the skills they have taught me, along with the excellent opportunities provided by Arts1; the performances they produce are of a professional standard, from set design and lighting through to costumes, hair and make-up.

The sense of comfort and openess the Arts1 teachers convey within the classroom environment is paramount, and I cannot thank them enough for the priceless support, encouragement and constructive criticism that they have given to me. Without this, I would not be where I am today; realising my dream. being at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.

"I was a student at Arts1 when it first opened its doors. I think that taking a gap year was the best thing that could have happened for me. I was able to experience all the great experiences Arts1 has to offer. Amazing full scale musicals and workshops that inspired me to persue a place on a full time graduate course at "Arts Ed" London. I am very excited about my last year on the course in London. I have great opportunities ahead of me and can't believe I'm here. I owe it to the staff at Arts1 who have been nothing but supportive to me. As long as you listen to the advice and valuable lessons they teach you can't go far wrong!"
