The University of Sheffield
Department of Music

Instrumental and Vocal Staff

Our instrumental and vocal staff are a vital and enthusiastic team, all of whom are distinguished teachers. Many also follow successful and prominent performing careers and they cover a vast range of expertise from classical solo recitals to jazz.

Following your audition with the Director of Performance in September the teacher who best meets your needs and aspirations is assigned to you and you commence your performance pathway with 18 hours of tuition in your first year.

If your instrument is not on the current list of teachers, we will certainly work to find the best tutor for you.
