The Sheffield Music School is a uniquely exciting opportunity for talented young musicians across South Yorkshire to explore their enthusiasm with others and to develop their skills in a creative and challenging environment.

Curriculum
Led by a team of experienced tutors, students attend a range of classes designed to develop their musical awareness and appreciation, and get to play in a variety of advanced ensembles. The programme is flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual student.

The 5 core sessions are:

Aural - students attend the appropriate class for them, from Grade 6 standard to the advanced post-Grade 8 class

Chamber music - this is the heart of the Music School's activities. Students are placed in different ensembles each term, of between 2 and 8 players, playing music from the renaissance to the 21st century
