Junior Academy of Music

On Saturdays, the Academy is full of young people of school age from all over Scotland and the North of England. Classes take place from late September until June and each year about 250 students attend. Junior students at the Academy enjoy the use of the same space and resources as the full-time RSAMD students and are also able to attend concerts and masterclasses. Students come from far and wide across Scotland and the North of England. This year we had young people from Aberdeen, Annan, Aberfeldy, Ardrishaig, Carlisle, Carnoustie, Dundee, Dunoon, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Glasgow, Inverness, Inverurie, Moffat, Perth, Pitlochry, St. Andrews and Stranraer!

There is a wide variety of music classes available for each student. These range from individual lessons to playing in groups or singing in a choir. Students may also have the opportunity to take part in, or attend, concerts at a number of venues around Scotland. Since all the classes are held on a Saturday, students can enjoy their music-making without interruption to their normal weekday school and family life.

The atmosphere is supportive, encouraging and welcoming – above all, students are encouraged to fully develop their musical potential.

We look forward to welcoming you here.
