This intensive course prepares advanced music, drama, or vocal candidates for the demands of the Trinity Performance Diplomas (ATCL and LTCL). Whether you are aiming to refine your musical interpretation or sharpen your stagecraft, this programme provides a complete framework for building a compelling, examiner-ready performance portfolio. It addresses core components of diploma-level preparation, including syllabus understanding, repertoire selection, interpretive insight, and performance execution.

Beginning with an overview of Trinity’s diploma structure, the course guides learners through the key expectations of both the Associate and Licentiate levels. Candidates will explore strategic programme building, learning how to select works that showcase technical command and artistic contrast. A strong focus is placed on interpretation—delving into phrasing, dynamics, emotion, and context to ensure each performance reflects a deep understanding of the material’s origins and intentions.

As the course progresses, students examine stylistic authenticity, learning to identify and express genre-specific elements across various periods and formats. For vocalists and actors, attention is given to language, dialect, and expressive articulation, while instrumentalists receive tailored techniques to highlight tonal quality and period accuracy. Each unit includes opportunities for peer and mentor feedback, allowing performers to critically assess and evolve their work.

The final modules strengthen stage presence and professional delivery. Students will develop body language techniques, manage nerves, and rehearse under performance conditions, simulating the exam environment to boost confidence. Practical tips on presentation, including attire and programme delivery, ensure candidates are fully prepared to meet examiner expectations. Through mock performances, reflective practice logs, and strategic feedback, learners gain the tools to approach their exam day with assurance and authenticity.
