In addition to the high-level of individual performance training, the new course also includes:

- classes in Alexander technique and other mind-body approaches
- training in digital skills to support performing musicians
The programme emphasises collaboration and collaborative approaches in all aspects of activity, whilst also structured to offer each student a high level of support as an individual learner and future practitioner.
