Graduate Diploma in Vocal Performance Grad Dip

During your time on the Graduate Diploma course, you will build or reinforce a solid vocal technique while developing your skills in languages and movement. Singers who demonstrate potential for significant vocal achievement, but who lack formal grounding, will have the opportunity to develop their repertoire knowledge. <br/><br/>By the end of the year, you will have developed a vocal technique suitable for the demands of Masters level study at a conservatoire. You will be familiar with a broad range of vocal repertoire, along with a core of works known in more detail. <br/><br/>You will also gain a strong grasp of the principal European languages of the vocal repertoire, and an informed awareness of style in performance. Your movement skills and knowledge of stagecraft will grow and you will begin to develop the ability to combine these with vocal accomplishment in operatic performance. <br/><br/>Through this year of intensive study, you will find potential routes for further study and/or career development, based on your own critical self-evaluation and an awareness of the demands and opportunities of the profession. <br/><br/>If you achieve a result of 65% or more at the end of the course, you will automatically have the opportunity to progress to RCM Masters study (MMus Perf or MPerf) in vocal performance. This progression route allows you to focus on your technical development during the Graduate Diploma, without interruption for Masters audition preparation.
