'Working with such talented and motivated students makes my role at the Academy an exciting, challenging and fulfilling one. Seeing them achieve the success they deserve is a rewarding experience'
Mark David, Head of Brass
We offer individual lessons with our team of distinguished professors and visiting professors, who are active at the highest professional level, an unparalleled range of masterclasses with the many internationally renowned artists who visit regularly, and a rich orchestral and chamber music programme.
As well as receiving the essential musical and technical grounding in the core repertoire, our undergraduate and postgraduate students take advantage of a wide range of performance opportunities.
Collaborations with prestigious venues across London, partnerships with orchestras, and competitions – both internal and external – will help you make the most of your time at the Academy and prepare you for a fulfilling career in music.
