Course overview In this course you hone your skills as a performer and get ready for a brilliant career in the music industry. Gain all the practical skills and theoretical knowledge you’ll need to perform at an advanced level. Get ready to pursue your passion for playing music as a profession as we nurture your musical development. Course highlights At Birmingham you'll receive instrumental or vocal tuition through one-to-one lessons by leading professional performers from the University or the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. You can also take advantage of the early performance opportunities available through our Collective for Early Music Performance and Research (CEMPR). You'll develop and refine your skills as a performing musician through expert individual tuition and performance classes, seminars, and tutorials. You'll also enhance your professional skills and gain the knowledge you need to build a music career, as well as transferable skills for other career paths.
You should have, or expect to get, a 2:1 Honours degree in Music. We can consider an Honours degree in another subject if you have significant professional musical experience and relevant qualifications. In your personal statement, please include the MA Music pathway you're applying for in the first paragraph. All applicants for pathways in performance must submit a sample of written work. This needs to be in English and at least 1,500 words. The written work should focus on a musical topic, with academic bibliography and references. You'll also need to present a 20-minute audition where you play a varied programme focusing on Western classical repertoire. The audition should include a brief spoken introduction to the programme, discussing the repertoire performed. This needs to be spoken in English.
