16-year-old Iona F, from Perth, has been awarded an Associate of the London College Diploma after performing songs from the show ‘Fame’ and a libretto which challenged her acting and vocal skills.
Over the moon to receive the diploma, she said, “I am thrilled to say I have sung at such a high level. It took a lot of hard work but in doing so I have also been able to build up my vocal stamina and gain valuable UCAS points.
“I want to say a massive thank you to my singing teacher Ms Anderson, she has supported me since I came to Strathallan and continues to help push me vocally, so far with very good results.”
Lynn Anderson, Strathallan vocal coach, said, “Iona received a DipLCM in 2019, the musical equivalent to a first-year undergraduate module.
“Given that Iona is only 16 years old, this is an outstanding achievement and her hard work and dedication should, I feel, be recognised.”
Music and Performing Arts form a large part of the curriculum at Strathallan as well as being a central focus of our extra-curricular activities, with over 25 music groups of all different styles rehearsing each week.
There is a huge range of performance opportunities, from our annual Musical Showcase at Perth Concert Hall to playing in front of your friends for fun. There are also plays and musical theatre performances every term that are open to all. Pupils can also work towards the world-renowned London Academy of Music and Drama Awards (LAMDA), a first step on the road to a career in the performing arts.
