What will I learn?

This is for gap-year students preparing for an Oxbridge organ scholarship, or for those who wish to develop organ/choral direction skills before formal university or conservatoire training. This is for you if you would like to receive Academy training but do not require a full programme of study that leads to a degree. Organ Foundation students are considered as fully-enrolled members of the Academy’s student body, and have equal access to the Academy’s resources (library, computers, practice rooms etc).The course principles are:• To enable students to benefit from one year of conservatoire education• To provide a tailor-made course of study according to the strengths and needs of each individual student• To offer the same performance opportunities provided for degree students (with the approval of the BMus Year Tutor and Head of Programme)• To offer appropriate academic subjects in consultation with the Academic Tutor and Head of Programme• To assess practical and/or academic progress by examination• To provide a transcript of studies showing completed modules (but no degree, diploma or other award)
