Course summary

The Advanced Professional Diploma (APD) is a two-year course for students seeking a final-stage bridge to professional work.
Royal Academy Opera offers opportunities for keyboard players wanting to specialise as répétiteurs. These students work in a wide variety of repertoire (spanning the 17th to the 21st centuries) in a variety of languages, closely guided and coached by the highly distinguished professors and directors of the Royal Academy Opera and Vocal Faculty. Our singing and opera professors are dedicated teachers and active performers with professional musical careers of all kinds.
