This highly personalised, vocal-specific master’s course will see you elevate your vocal creativity and already advanced performance skills in a supportive and nurturing environment.  

Whether you’re currently working in the music industry as a musician, vocalist or singing teacher, looking to change careers, or continuing your studies with a postgraduate degree, this inspiring programme will take your vocal talents to the next level.

You’ll also engage in a range of practical activities, covering the languages of music and scholarship, with plenty of opportunities to play, work, experiment, collaborate, make discoveries, take risks, and build your network of professional industry contacts.
