Our distinctive degree is the UK’s longest-established specialist course in conducting for choirs.
It covers a wide range of sacred music for both concert and liturgical events, as well as selected secular repertoire. With expertise in conducting, rehearsal and baton techniques, choral repertoire, vocal technique and aural skills, our professors will ensure that you graduate with the tools you’ll need for an active and diverse career.
The Academy’s location in the centre of London, at the Heart of the British choral tradition, provides an enviable learning environment and enables us to collaborate closely with leading professional, amateur and collegiate choirs.
We offer choral conducting as a principal study at postgraduate level only. At undergraduate level, it is offered as an optional choir-training class.
