Study Details: 1 year
This course is designed to help you build the stylistic awareness and advanced techniques to perform classical music at concert level.
Through workshops, masterclasses and one-to-one lessons with specialist tutors, you will hone your abilities as both a solo and ensemble performer, culminating in a public recital at the end of your course. You can either choose to take a piano performance pathway or instrumental performance pathway.
You will have the opportunity to engage in modules that develop your understanding of performance as a research informed discipline, whilst also having the opportunity to collaborate on creative projects with students from other programmes.
The school plays an important role in Sheffield's thriving cultural life, and students have frequent opportunities to perform for the University of Sheffield Concerts, a concert series that also hosts varied performances from world-wide professional musicians throughout the year.
Sheffield is celebrated as one of the UK's leading music cities, with dozens of major venues. The city benefits from regular visits from the Halle and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras, the nationally important Music in the Round chamber music organisation, and a rich programme of musicals, ballets and operas at the Crucible and Lyceum theatres. Our students regularly take part in concerts and festivals across the city.
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject.
Many of our graduates have found success in the music profession as performers, while a large number have gone onto teach or establish their own music freelance business. Others have stayed to continue their studies at PhD level, or taken up offers to study further at leading music conservatoires.
