Other requirements

General requirements

2:1 or equivalent in Music. We will also consider your application if you have a 2:2 and significant relevant professional experience.

Additional requirements

You can apply as a pre-formed group, or as an individual. In either case the process starts by contacting Robert Hollingworth with a short CV and some audio or video evidence of your voice (in Western Art Music) - normally solo voice but consort performance is also fine. (Do not make the online application until you have been asked to do so.)
If you are invited to apply for the course, we will match you with other candidates. If you're on different continents, each singer will be encouraged to video-record two pieces (either solo or in consort with others) and make them available to the other singers so that each of you has a proper chance to listen to your colleagues in advance.

Make sure you meet all requirements
