    Overview

    The Vocal Summer School offers a comprehensive programme aimed at talented young singers, aged 14 to 18, who wish to hone their vocal technique and take their singing to the next level. The course is suitable for classical singers aged 14 to 18, Grade 7 or above (ABRSM or Trinity) or who are singing at an equivalent level. Following a video submission, successful applicants will be invited to take part. 

    St Marys Music School is one of five specialist music schools in the UK, designated by the UK Government as providing the highest standard of music training and development. The School is located right in the heart of the stunning city of Edinburgh, capital of Scotland and home to the world-famous Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 

    Access to the School is easy with a quick journey by tram, bus or taxi from Edinburgh International Airport which is just 20 minutes away and has direct access to airports throughout the UK and abroad. Haymarket train station is just two-minute walk away.

    This intensive five-day course includes expert tuition, individual coaching sessions with a professional piano accompanist,  Alexander Technique classes, daily workshops in acting and sung languages as well as mindfulness and yoga, solo performance opportunities and a masterclass with a world-renowned artist. The course will give young singers a well-rounded introduction to what is required as a classical artist. Suitable for those who aspire to study at conservatoire, university and professional level, it is also ideal for those who simply wish to hone their vocal skills in an atmosphere which is enjoyable, supportive, and encouraging.
