​

 The Choral Course is made up of four half day workshops and rehearsals leading up to a live performance with soloists from the Academy’s Masterclass students. The courses main premise is that singing should be a joy, so our aim is to help students improve basic techniques and develop their skill set so that this enhances their practice and performance. Our Course Tutor and Choir Conductor, Richard, is a hugely experienced musician who can get the very best out of our students. Most of our students sing in a variety of choirs locally, although anyone who enjoys singing is welcome.
