Synopsis Guided by supervisors, students submit a unified program of works to be performed, with a written justification of their choice. Students attend a weekly individual lesson on their chosen instrument, voice or conducting medium, and masterclasses as prescribed, and are responsible for the organisation of their own performances (including venue, date, audience, and program booklets) which will be assessed by a team of examiners. At the end of the course the students should have acquired sufficient technical and interpretive skills, experience in musical performance and knowledge of the repertoire to operate as professional performers.
