In the UK, you can study music or dance at a university, college, or conservatoire. Conservatoires specialise and focus on performance-based study, with a strong emphasis on one-to-one tuition, group work, and performance. University and college courses tend to focus on theory-based disciplines such as analysis, harmony and counterpoint, music technology, and psychology of performing, as well as performance itself. Music courses include musical theatre, education, sound engineering, songwriting and music business and more. For those interested in dance, an undergraduate qualification will give you the opportunity to develop the technical, creative and performance skills needed to become a versatile dance artist. You will also gain the understanding and critical and analytical skills to inform your artistic practice. Find out more about the options available to you in the UK by attending this webinar.
