Underlying the performing, teaching and coaching activities within vocal performance is a simple idea: that each singer must find the mode of learning and developing which really works for them.
Overview
The Vocal Performance department is ambitious on your behalf and seeks to find ways for you to discover and fulfil your potential as a singer and independent, distinctive artist. The department numbers around 100 first-study singers on BMus and MMus courses, with further singers taking the advanced Opera route. Our team of tutors and coaches aim to help you find and release your true unique voice, establishing a technique which can serve you reliably, with a sense of freedom.
From April 2024, the department will be led by international opera soprano and educator, Jane Irwin. Working closely with the Head of Opera, Philip White, it has an excellent and committed team of tutors, many of whom have worked and continue to work at the highest international performing levels and who can offer a range of specialisms.
Underlying the performing, teaching and coaching activities within vocal performance is a simple idea: each singer must find the mode of learning and developing which works for them. Our approach is student-centred and we aim to respond to the differing learning styles and needs of individual singers.
These elements are taught via 40.5 hours of principal study tuition and supporting studies classes each academic year, with a special class called ‘Basis of Vocal Technique’ where students work as a group on the ideas and skills which they are encountering in the one-to-one lessons. We are practical and we use what works!
