About the Author

Jeremy Harrison was one of the country’s leading actor-musicians before going on to run Rose Bruford College’s unique Actor-Musicianship programme. Since graduating from RADA (1987), he has worked in theatre, film and television as a performer, MD, composer and director both in the UK and internationally. He is Chair of Rose Bruford College’s Theatre for Young Audience’s Centre and has presented practical workshops and papers on actor-musicianship and the musicality of acting in institutions around the world.

Reviews

Actor-musicianship is clearly making inroads in professional practice; last season it was an essential component of both staging and story in two new musicals on Broadway, School of Rock and Bandstand. Harrison’s volume should then be of interest to anyone studying, teaching, or training in contemporary acting practice.
*Journal of American Drama and Theatre*

I highly recommend Jeremy Harrison’s Actor Musicianship as an excellent introduction to the genre. It is informative, clearly written, easy to follow, well documented and will make an extremely useful addition to the libraries of theatre departments and theatre students everywhere.
