Robert Alderson studied singing at the RNCM with the late Frederic Cox. On leaving College, he joined Scottish Opera for three years after which he returned to Manchester to study for his PGCE in Secondary Education, which he gained with distinction. Within a year of qualifying, he was promoted to Head of Music in a large comprehensive school. Many of his pupils went on to study singing at some of Britain’s major conservatoires. Several of these young singers have since joined some of the most important opera houses worldwide. The Spectator Magazine comments:
“…it is highly unusual to find someone with the acute ear of Robert Alderson, he was responsible for encouraging a whole generation of singers now making successful careers at English Nation Opera “
Robert joined the teaching staff at the RNCM in 1986, and during his time as a senior lecturer he has produced some of the college’s most important alumni from the vocal studies department, including Christine Rice, Alice Coote, Rafael Rojas, John Daszak and Ashley Holland. As well as working singers, many of his past students have progressed to important administrative positions within music colleges and opera houses.
