This course offers a wealth of performance opportunities and introduces you to a wide range of musical studies at an advanced level. You’ll study with one of our expert professional instrumental/vocal teachers and with the guidance of our experienced performance staff and resident repetiteur to develop your skills in technical proficiency, presentation and interpretation in musical performance.

You’ll be encouraged and supported to take an interest in performance research to enhance your musical and artistic development. Through individual lessons, performance classes and masterclasses, you’ll prepare and perform a recital as the major part of your course, and also explore the challenges of performing a large-scale musical structure through the concerto/song-cycle/extended work module. You’ll also be introduced to and supported to apply performance research methods, enabling you to situate your performance interests and repertoire within a wider academic context, and will devise and undertake an applied performance project that might focus on performance practice, ensemble work, pedagogic studies, doubling on a second instrument, or another area of performance-related interest.

The course is ideal if you wish to pursue advanced performance studies, or are an existing performer wishing to enhance your skills or undertake continuous professional development. It can also be used as preparation for undertaking a performance-based practice-led PhD.

Career opportunities

A postgraduate degree in Music from the University of Leeds equips you with valuable subject knowledge, cultural and social awareness, and a strong balance of musical and transferrable skills. Skills such as communication, leadership, time and resource management, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are particularly attractive to employers, and you’ll also be able to demonstrate the flexibility, resilience and confidence needed to adapt to new situations and environments.

Your subject-specific knowledge will bring your critical, creative, research and problem-solving abilities to the fore, and you’ll be able to articulate how the experience gained through your postgraduate study has prepared you for whatever comes next, be that work or doctoral research.

The pianos in the piano room are very good, I think the number of piano rooms can be increased because some classmates always can’t boot it as it always fully..Read more
