All disciplines taught at MTA Tameside offer optional nationally-recognised qualifications at all levels from absolute beginners up to private teacher status, with each syllabus providing an excellent foundation for further and higher education.

To support its performing arts teaching, MTA regularly stages productions including straight drama, pantomime, musical theatre and dance shows which all members can take part in to utilise their skills before an audience.

MTA supplies and manages its highly-skilled team of specialist teachers and industry professionals to deliver a wide variety of performing arts classes for enrichment, PPA, Extended Schools and holiday clubs for primary schools in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and throughout the north west.

Furthermore, MTA’s in-house writers, directors and professional actors regularly devise and deliver bespoke programmes of theatre-in-education (TIE) and health education plays and workshops to teach important subjects in both primary and secondary schools.
