“One of the most important lessons I learned from the MA Musical Directing course and RCS is that collaboration is key to good practice. The generosity, attention to detail and creativity fostered by the faculty and visiting staff in every lesson has inspired me to lead with these principles in every rehearsal I am in.”

– Chris Poon
