Course summary

This course is suitable for all instrumentalists or vocalists who have some proficiency and a passion to develop as a performer. The course broadens experience and skills in ensemble performance and students will be required to perform in public on a regular basis throughout the course. Students will perform a variety of genres covering popular music from the 1950s to the modern day. The course also includes training in listening, critical review and composition. Confidence in some form of musical literacy skills is essential and we recommend that students are comfortable with Music Theory to ABRSM Grade 3 before embarking on the course.
