About Performance, PG Dip - at University of Leeds

This course offers you the chance to concentrate on your development as a performing musician, and benefit from studying with our expert professional instrumental/vocal teachers, our experienced performance staff and our resident repetiteur, to develop your skills in technical proficiency, presentation and interpretation in musical performance.

This flexible course enables you to enhance your technical prowess, expand your repertoire and hone your interpretative strategies as a performer, alongside developing your critical skills in commenting on your own performances and those of others. Through individual lessons, performance classes and masterclasses, you'll prepare and perform a recital as the major part of your course. You'll also choose one or two further modules offering opportunities to explore an extended work, undertake a distinctive applied performance study, engage with performance practice, or develop your understanding of relevant research methods and approaches in music to support your interpretation and discussion of performance. Depending on which performance options you select, you may also have the chance to expand your studies by choosing to do a Short Dissertation on a musicological topic of your choosing.

This course is ideal if you want to focus entirely on your performing interests by taking a smaller selection of modules than the more intensive MMus Performance course.
