Course Details

Singing is about individual expression. Through tutorials with your first study tutor, you will develop your expressive and technical abilities with a view to helping you to explore the music you want to write working towards expressing your ideas, thoughts and feelings to a professional standard. Through your music, we help you discover who you are as an artist; what is it you have to say and how can you best say it?

Our first study tutorials are tailored to your individual needs to help you grow and develop. Using the music you are writing as a starting point, these tutorials cover areas such as; stagecraft, breath control, vocal expression and most importantly practising effective vocal warm-up techniques.

In addition, you will also take part in performing amongst your peers in order to explore discuss and debate the music you hear together and to develop the analytical and critical skills essential to understanding what makes any music tick, including your own.

We have a diverse team of songwriters at the Academy, each with their own specialism and expertise and you will study with who best suits your needs. At the end of each term you will perform an end-of-term gig with your peers in front of your peers and a live audience.

We have a comprehensive enrichment programme which includes one-to-one careers guidance, masterclasses and seminars from a wide range of visiting guest speakers, Study Skills, Life Skills (which covers physical, mental and emotional wellbeing) Entrepreneurship classes.

You’ll get to do all this, and more, then you’ll have everything you need to step straight into the music industry and kick-start a meaningful, sustainable career. Not bad, right?
