Established in 2006, Sheffield Music Academy provides specialist training for over 150 musicians a year aged 4-19 who show outstanding ability and potential on their instrument(s).
The Academy’s drive is to inspire excellence so that students can develop their talent, grow in confidence, achieve fulfilment through performance, and in turn make positive contributions to the musical activities of their schools and communities. As one of only 15 Centres for Advanced Training in the UK we receive funding from the Department for Education's Music & Dance Scheme which offers means-tested bursaries to families. We're also supported by smaller trusts, donors and sponsorship to increase bursary numbers and offer instruments for tuition.
Places are open to all, with a primary focus on dedication to music at auditions which take place in spring each year.
