Study with us

​

Our senior students meet in the beautiful surroundings of St Monica's Trust in Westbury-on-Trym every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm - 9:30pm. The Intermediates from 5pm - 6.15pm in the same venue.

​

The cost is £38 a week for Senior Pre-Conservatoire and £25 for Intermediates, to include all chamber tuition, general musicianship training, creative sessions and mentoring. Fees are paid half-termly on invoice. Bursaries are available - please get in touch to find out more.

​

Students will undertake regular performances at St Monica's and we have a varied programme of visiting artists and speakers.

In addition we also offer audition preparation, lessons on how to practice effectively as a soloist and in a group, stagecraft, and opportunities to attend concerts as a group.

We welcome talented young musicians who are serious about their music. For our senior programme, you will need to be:

• Aged 13 - 19

• Grade 7+ standard or equivalent on your instrument or voice

• Open-minded and ready to be challenged

• Keen to learn as part of a small ensemble

• Able to commit to once-weekly evening classes for a whole term at a time

​

For our Intermediates programme:

​

• Aged 11-15

• Grade 6 + standard or equivalent on your instrument

• Both creative jazz and small classical ensemble opportunities are available

• Able to commit to once-weekly evening classes for a whole term at a time

For your Pre-Conservatoire audition, we will ask you to play two contrasting pieces unaccompanied and will give you a short interview about your musical interests. For the Intermediates programme, we only need to hear one piece.

We audition throughout the year. To apply, email bristolpreconservatoire@gmail.com 

We'd love to hear from you!
