A generous bursary scheme is open to all members via application to help with any level of financial support for fees, travel costs, and uniform. Information is clearly detailed on our application forms and you can also find out more about our bursary scheme here.

1 Not all members may be allocated a place on all courses. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis upon receipt of the course registration form. However, if you miss out on a place on one course, you are guaranteed a place on the next one. 

2 Attendance. If you are unable to attend two consecutive courses, we will ask you to re-audition so that we can assess your vocal and musical progress.
