Ain't no mountain high enough!

This production features the entire Level 3 year group from the Performance Academy, that’s over 100 students singing a classic of our time.

Every student was given the chance to sing a solo line and then the best lines were selected for the final edit. The chorus sections feature all of the students singing in three parts.

Just like these students you will have the opportunity to work in recording studios which requires different techniques and will pose a new challenge.
