Key facts

Many specialisms within these programmes work closely with our partner organisations, particularly the Orchestral Artistry specialism delivered in association with the London Symphony Orchestra. As part of this development process, you will receive feedback from a variety of sources.

To ensure you gain self-reliance and the confidence to further your career, we prioritise individual study alongside enhancing your ability to independently evaluate your own musical identity and growth, and guide your gradual, independent engagement with the outside musical scene.
