Course content
Build your confidence and broaden your musical expression. Regular one-to-one tuition is at the heart of the course. Build healthy practice and performance habits, and apply your understanding of historical and musical context to your own interpretations. Take part in collaborative peer learning sessions and performance classes. Design and deliver informed and compelling performances in solo or ensemble recitals.
Thrive in diverse musical contexts with theoretical, practical and recital modules. Deepen your musical interpretation with option modules in historical performance practices, music history case studies and inclusive, accessible instrumental pedagogy. Critically reflect on performance and repertoire and apply what learn to both your own studies and historic practices.
You'll join a vibrant, supportive academic community and performance culture. There's a huge range of ensembles to join, from orchestras and choirs to improvisation groups, modular synths and gamelan. You’ll have opportunities to perform in our own concert spaces and even the historic York Minster in the city centre.
The skills you gain will enhance your professional abilities. You'll graduate as a creative musician ready for a career as a performer, educator, researcher, community arts worker, or further study.
