Individually tailored sessions using musical instruments of all descriptions allow students to develop the core learning skills associated with active listening and training in rhythm and harmony. Music used as a therapeutic tool helps students to practise concentrated self-control accompanied with the joy of participation, thus opening a wide spectrum of avenues for learning.
If you are interested in applying to Guildhall School we would encourage you to attend an Open Day to find out more about the opportunities available at the School.
You’ll get to discuss the training with teaching staff, current students or recent graduates.
