| The Graduate Diploma in Music Performance is designed for specialized, intensive work in performance by talented instrumentalists and singers who have already achieved a significant level of proficiency technically and artistically, and whose career goal is to become professional musicians. With opportunities to perform in solo, chamber, operatic and orchestral settings both on and off campus, the diploma program allows students to principally focus on developing and honing their performance skills to a higher level. The diploma can normally be completed in one academic year (September to April). The diploma may be pursued anytime after a BMus. All students will be required to complete it within a maximum of two years. |
