Course module description

Individual Instrumental lessons

This will be a core module of your course.  You will be regularly taught and supervised by one of our excellent teachers who will make sure you progress faster than you ever had before.

Our lessons strongly emphasize the technical, interpretational and historical content of a performance. Some elements of the history of music, composition and improvisation are included. Effective performance psychology elements are implemented as a part of curriculum in order to enable students to effectively deliver the performances in high-pressure circumstances. Advanced learning strategies from top-level industry professionals will ensure the excellent progress and efficiency.

All our teachers have master’s degrees from renowned conservatoires in UK and Europe. Being active performers themselves they successfully bring their performance experience into the teaching environment enabling students to fully develop their potential.

Masterclass lessons/consultations

To support your regular lessons you will be coached by an external visiting teacher- usually a professor from a Higher Education Institution which will give you a chance to experience the standards in London’s Conservatoires and create a unique opportunity to connect with leading industry professionals

Performance Opportunities

A vital part of your course will be giving a recital in one of the venues in Central London. This will enable you to gain an invaluable experience needed in the later stages of professional training.

English classes tuition

If English is not your first language and you chose a course variant preparing to entrance audition at one of the Conservatoires we will make sure you receive an intense English tuition as a part of your Ultimate Professional Course. The language confidence will be a vital part of developing your professional career in London! Our course will prepare you for the IELTS certificate you will most likely need if you are willing to continue your education in the UK or any other qualifications you may need.
