IIOne major discipline, chosen from eight. A full academic curriculum studied alongside it, without compromise.
Choose a Major
Each learner selects one major as the centre of their conservatory training — the discipline they will study in depth, perform in, and be assessed on throughout the programme. Hover a discipline to read more.
01The foundation of musicianship — harmony, technique, and repertoire from Baroque to contemporary.
02Bowing, intonation, and the solo and orchestral violin repertoire.
03The alto voice of the string family — chamber and orchestral training.
04Rich tone and technique, built from études through to concerto repertoire.
05The foundation of the orchestra's low end — solo and ensemble training.
06Technique, repertoire, and interpretation for the concert guitarist.
07Breath control, tone, and the orchestral and solo flute repertoire.
08Vocal technique, sight-singing, and ensemble performance.
Alongside the Major
Every student studies these complementary disciplines alongside their major, building the all-round musicianship a conservatory education demands.
Ensemble playing, sectional rehearsal, and public performance across the school year.
Collective voice training and choral repertoire performed alongside the orchestra.
Harmony, form, and analysis — the grammar behind every score a student plays.
Sight-singing, dictation, and the aural skills every working musician relies on.
Small-ensemble collaboration, from duos to quintets, developing listening and leadership.
Regular recitals and assessments that build stage discipline and confidence.
