About Advanced Vocal Studies at University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Course Overview

The course is based on individual, bespoke tuition provided by a team of distinguished coaches, including Dennis O'Neill, the Academy Director, Nuccia Focile, Jane Samuel, and a number of visiting consultants, such as Dame Kiri te Kanawa (WIAV's honorary president), Ryland Davies, Anne Murray, Richard Bonynge, Joseph Rouleau, and so on. There are also master classes, group teaching classes and participation in public events and professional placement.

Key Features
