Professional Diploma (Performance) - Tuba

UK

What will I learn?

The Academy’s brass department aims to maximise the musical skills of each individual student preparing them for a fulfilling and successful career in music.

CLASSES & ACTIVITIES

The 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

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.
