Music Performance - Vocals - BA (Hons)

ACM (The Academy of Contemporary Music)

It has amazing facilities for recording and rehearsing and is open all year round through summer and holidays if you want to work on anything for yourself or for the courses. It has two studios, lots of mac suites with access to logic pro and production software. It has an amazing community of people and everyone gets along with everyone including the staff who are great to talk to. Staff all have a wide range of experience in the music industry and can give valuable advice and support with your studies and futures outside of ACM. They help with opportunities and live performances and are always happy to help with mental health and well being if you are struggling with their wellbeing team!

The pandemic has definitely hindered the experience, and having online classes for such a physical subject has been a disappointment. However; the uni are still providing access to their facilities. I still think it is over priced to pay £9,000+ a year, like it is for all unis.

As someone who is serious about a career in music as a singer I have found ACM to be supportive in every area I need them to be. Inside and outside of the classroom they give us plenty to be getting on with. I have been here for just over four years and have felt positive change in the time I have been here. It keeps getting better and better.

The tutors have made my experience so far for me. Learning from people like Brian Henry has been inspirational. I'm only in my first few months of studies right now but if it carries on like this I shall be very happy indeed.

I am so happy with my choice of coming to ACM to study vocals and I know it was the right thing for me. I felt that I had every chance to get to know the staff and students before even studying here because they did such a lot of work with my school so I kind of knew that it was the right place for me and I didn't have to take a risk
