Deepen your knowledge of English song repertoire, and develop your performing skills in this course for advanced learners led by a leading expert in the field. Auditions take place on 27 April 2-5pm. Please contact the Music Department to arrange an audition.
In each session, you are invited to bring along a concert song of text in English language (including songs by non-British composers) to perform to your peers, and receive guidance and feedback from the tutor. You are free to choose your repertoire, but the tutor is also happy to offer advice in the first session. There is a class accompanist.
Places are limited for this course, and entry is through a successful audition to the tutor. Please prepare one song of your choice in English language, and bring along a copy of the music for the tutor and one for the accompanist. Auditions take place on 27 April 2-5pm. Please e-mail the Music Administrator Ann Cowling, ann.cowling@morleycollege.ac.uk to arrange an audition slot.
You are free to choose any classical song repertoire in English language. You will be expected to perform a new song at least every other week, and to set aside time for preparation between classes. There will be an informal end-of-term performance.
Two copies of your chosen aria each week (one for the tutor and one for the accompanist), and any equipment suitable for recording/making notes.
You may wish to consider auditioning for one of the Opera courses at Morley (Introduction to Opera Performance, Morley Opera School), which will give you the opportunity to work on stagecraft and ensemble singing skills. Other specialist courses for advanced singers at Morley include: Singing Masterclass in Lieder, Singing Masterclass in French Song, Singing Masterclass in Oratorio. For more information and to arrange an audition for any of the above courses, please contact the Music Department.
