I wanted to study music but was met with a lot of resistance at school, which made me more determined! I will never forget my first morning at the Academy – it felt like coming home.

Academy alum and donor

I am 96 years old, and my life has been immensely enriched by music. That I have been able to enjoy that music has been due in no small part to the training provided by the Academy.
