Located in the heart of London, studying in this culturally rich and dynamic environment is a unique experience. Junior Guildhall is the provider of specialist pre-conservatoire training for the Guildhall Young Artists division (GYA). This division includes Centre for Young Musicians (CYM) London, the London Schools Symphony Orchestra (LSSO) and Regional CYM Centres across the UK which provides opportunities for over 1,500 young people to find their creative voice. Taking place on Saturdays, Junior Guildhall provides access to world-class facilities where students work with outstanding teachers and world-renowned artists. The School offers advanced training to young people between the ages of 4 and 18, which they are able to combine with their general education. This specialist training prepares talented musicians, singers, composers and actors to access Higher Education courses in their chosen discipline, if that is their wish. Some Junior Guildhall students have gone on to reach the peak of their chosen professions to become household names. Others use their craft behind the scenes to help bring performances to stage and screen. Regardless of their ultimate direction, students find that the professional artistic environment of Guildhall School provides them with valuable life skills and the means to develop their individual talents to the full. Nurtured by expert teaching staff in a creative and supportive environment, the atmosphere at Junior Guildhall is infectious and full of energy, and many students and staff travel long distances from across the UK and beyond to attend. We welcome talented young musicians and actors from all backgrounds and have funding available to support those who may need financial assistance to attend. Most importantly, students make lifelong friends and, for many, Saturday is the highlight of the week. Please come and visit us and be inspired to apply to take the next step on your creative journey. We look forward to meeting you.
