“During the four years of my undergraduate studies, the Guitar department – headed by the incomparable Professor Allan Neave – provided me with the resources, motivation and expertise to develop both my technical and musical skills on the instrument. The guidance of the renowned teaching faculty and the supportive peer group of students, that I was fortunate enough to be a part of, also prepared me in becoming an independent learner which taught me to value the importance of social connections in this cross-cultural field. A lot of these first connections were, themselves, forged at RCS. I can say, with confidence, that RCS nurtured my ambitions and provided the perfect springboard for a career in the arts.”
