We're relaunching our programme with a new, clear progression path. Now, every child who joins us will be a Young Artist and a Young Musician who can move through the stages of Discover, Foundation and Specialism. We believe that whatever their age, artists and musicians always start with the question ‘What if....?’ and the Conservatoire is the place to explore this fundamental question. And of course, we still have our brilliant and extensive programme for Adults.
