How we work
Every student joins the same way
01
Join through membership
Students join monthly. It is not a one-off booking.
02
A reserved weekly slot
Music is one-to-one. Performing arts is a small group. Each membership holds a reserved slot.
03
The year around it
Concerts, showcases and exams are part of the year — not extras added later.
Two pathways
Same standard, different teaching
Performing arts
Small-group classes
- A reserved small-group class
- Weekly reports after each class
- LAMDA in person, Trinity digitally
- Showcases in proper theatres
- Theatre Tots → Young Performers → a specialism
What we hold to
The conservatoire approach
Specialist teachers
Students are taught by a specialist for that instrument or discipline. High standards of teaching are the foundation of the conservatoire.
Structured progression
Every student should know what they are working towards. Membership holds a next piece, exam or performance — not an open-ended rota.
Regular performance
Concerts and showcases are ordinary here. Performing is how technique becomes something an audience can hear and see.
Recognised qualifications
Music students sit graded exams. Performing arts follows recognised routes, including LAMDA, when the work is already secure.
