Course Overview
Designed to act as a pathway for talented singers to benefit from focused study and support before undertaking the two-year MMus Music Performance, this course forms the ideal bridge between a bachelor’s degree and master’s study. It also offers a stand-alone opportunity for one year’s intensive study of classical vocal performance for talented singers wanting to develop their skills further.
