While undertaking a thorough program of technical work, students will be expected to become familiar with the stylistic and technical demands of works from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th-century periods. They will also establish and develop analytical practice methods, physical stamina, stylistic awareness, interpretive skills and the ability to effectively communicate musical concepts to an audience. All performers receive a weekly individual lesson, a specialist master class, concert practice and a performance studies class to refine musical and technical skills to the highest standards possible.
