Collaboration and experimentation sits at the heart of this specialism. You’ll spend a lot of time working with your peers, learning from one another in situations that replicate working life. You’ll work alongside the Trinity Laban production team and collaborate with classical, jazz, musical theatre and dance students.

Learn from the best

Our tutors are leading performers and industry professionals. We’ll inspire you to become a forward-thinking, technically excellent and socially engaged musician with a firm understanding of all aspects of a performing career.
