Year 13 student Emma has received unconditional offers from several prestigious UK music conservatoires for courses beginning this Autumn, 2013. She is particularly delighted to have been offered a place at the internationally renowned Guildhall School of Music and Drama. This is a considerable achievement, as the London music conservatoires usually only accept more mature singing students who are twenty years of age or older, as they prefer students to have a more physically developed vocal ability. Emma has been accepted straight from school, which suggests that the music conservatoires are anxious to secure her as a student and anticipate an excellent development of her voice, which bodes well for her professional career ambitions.
