About Bristol Pre-Conservatoire

 

Founded by Dr Jonathan James in 2012, Bristol Pre-Conservatoire is a prestigious evening music school for young classical and jazz musicians, providing weekly ensemble training in Bristol. Our talented students come together in a fun yet challenging environment to develop ensemble skills and general musicianship.

 

We work on ear skills and on appreciating music in its widest expression, deliberately blurring boundaries. We have a diverse programme of visiting speakers and offer small ensemble training each week with experienced and inspiring tutors, incorporating elements of technique where possible.

 

We are currently offering training in the following strands:

• Strings

• Piano

• Woodwind

• Brass

• Voice

• Jazz

​

Please feel free to get in touch with Jon or Sue via the contact page if you would like to find out more.
