Course Summary

Until recently, postgraduate music education has barely explored the connection between the worlds of solo and choral singing. In this unique course led by Robert Hollingworth, a world-leader in the artform, you'll explore the subtleties of this sophisticated genre.

You'll explore how audiences receive this repertoire, much of which was not written with public concert performance in mind and consider how this affects presentation and performance.

Careers and skills

This course is directly beneficial to students wishing to break into the commercial world of classical singing. You'll gain vital skills for performing your repertoire professionally, enabling you to be competitive within the professional solo and choral worlds.

Career opportunities

  • Choral Professional (freelance or salaried)
  • Solo Performance
  • Music teacher
  • Performance research and PhD study
  • Private music tutor

Modules

This module aims to build on the techniques developed in Project 1 in order to produce a more sophisticated project showing critical, reflective and informed practice in relation to the students individual and ensemble music making, composition or research. These elements are taught largely through individual tutorials and/or vocal or instrumental lessons; the class-based elements of the module teaching help students work towards an understanding of the knowledge/creativity balance, an ability to reflect self-critically and a more nuanced way of articulating these factors.
