The Piano Faculty attracts talented students from all over the world, making it one of the Academy’s most diverse and exciting departments.
CLASSES & ACTIVITIESThe Academy’s Professional Diploma is a one-of-a-kind programme for students who are looking for a specially tailored extra year of study to provide a competitive edge in building a career.
It is a highly focused combination of one-to-one tuition and professional development activity built around the needs of each individual student in consultation with the ProfDip Programme Tutor and the relevant Head of Department. Applicants will normally have completed a master’s degree but the programme is available to all applicants of the appropriate standard.
Training: In addition to the 45 hours of one-to-one tuition, all postgraduate students undertake an extensive programme of departmental activity targeted to their specialist focus.
The following are examples of specialisms studied in recent years. There is no blueprint; the nature and scope of the specialism differs in each case.
YOUR COURSE
This is a specialist and intensive Diploma at Level 7 within the UK Qualifications and Credit Framework (post-Masters).
The course is for performance and composition candidates who wish to follow a particular area of focus within or connected to their Principal Study. Candidates should have the potential and aspiration to succeed at the highest international standard.
Performance Requirements: A performance standard at least equivalent to recognised postgraduate degrees and a clear sense of a direction (specialism) for further study. Academic Requirements: A Master’s qualification or equivalent (in a relevant subject), but the Academy welcomes applications from students who may not meet the normal requirements.
