Overview

Our Music Performance BMus(Hons) degree is designed for all types of instrumentalists including pop, musical performance and classical singers who want to benefit from expert individual tuition. You’ll also have the chance to play in groups and ensembles, with up to two thirds of your second and final years being assessed through performance activities. This course is for you if you have a passion for solo work, band and ensemble performance. Whatever your style, you'll work on your own original material or a whole range of pop, classical or jazz. You'll also study composition, songwriting, musicology, and technology modules that will enhance and support your development as a performer. The course will prepare you for a career as a professional performer, teacher or a musician with a portfolio career. You’ll study in state-of-the-art professional standard facilities, with access to a range of rehearsal spaces, recording studios, two dedicated concert halls, and a large selection of equipment and instruments for you to use. You’ll be taught by leading academics, many of whom are also professional performers with active international careers as soloists and ensemble members. Up to 20 hours of individual tuition per year on your main study is provided by our team of expert instrumental and vocal tutors, supplemented by masterclasses and workshops by visiting professionals.
