Program overview

When students choose for a classical music degree, they choose for a profession on their instrument or with their voice. Many choose for a combination between playing chamber music, instrumental teaching at a music school or setting up a private teaching practice. Occasionally a student becomes a soloist on the international stage. Performing as a musician means students are sometimes away on tour and frequently need to deliver a top performance at night and on weekends whilst others are relaxing.
