Scholarship Auditions 2022-2023

At NESMS we believe that small is beautiful – that what matters is the quality of the teaching and the friendliness of the staff, not the size of the building.  But we do have excellent, well-equipped studios and a fine music library.

Acknowledged experts come on a regular basis from all over the British Isles to give one-to-one coaching and advice on technique and performance – and to provide occasional workshops and master-classes.

For those who want to develop the ability to deal confidently with an audience we provide numerous opportunities for performance both solo and/or ensemble, with suitable support from more experienced performers.

Through fundraising, generous donations and occasional local authority grants NESMS is able not only to subsidize student lesson fees, but also to offer competitive scholarships and hardship funding.

Talented individuals of all ages can gain access to teaching of the highest calibre. As a charity we offer competitive scholarships, and a hardship fund for the disadvantaged.

Continuing financial support is essential to maintain the high quality of our teaching programme, and we welcome enquiries about donations, sponsorship and scholarship funding – as well as Friends' membership.
