Introduction
BA Music - Classical (Hons)
WHY LEEDS?
It takes hard work and initiative to make it in today's fast-moving music industry – which is why the BA (Hons) Classical pathway at Leeds College of Music focuses on equipping you with the tools and experience required to sustain a portfolio career.
Built around a mixture of one-to-one tuition, small-ensemble work and seminars, this is a contemporary, highly performance-based course. Whether you choose to specialise in Classical or combine it with any of our other pathways – Jazz, Popular Music or Music Production – you will develop into a fine specialist performer or composer with the commercial skills to earn a living in a highly competitive field.
YOUR TUTORS
BA (Hons) students receive 120 hours of specialist one-to-one tuition across three years, meaning you gain invaluable insights into the music industry from professionals who have first-hand experience of working within it.
Your tutors are conductors (Dr David Fligg), composers and authors (Dr Carl Vincent), and have played with groups as prestigious as The Sixteen (Robert Ashworth, horn) and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (Martyn Shaw, flute/piccolo), appeared on TV and radio including Later with Jools Holland (Jonathan Enright, trombone), given recitals at Wigmore and Cadogan halls and recorded for Toccata Classics and Naxos (Jakob Fichert, piano), and founded festivals (Jane Anthony, voice).
They are joined throughout the year by visiting professors, many of whom are international stars: joining us for 2012/13 are violinist Charlie Siem, clarinettist Emma Johnson, soprano Deborah York and pianist Wolfgang Manz.
