Junior Guildhall is a specialist Saturday School offering advanced training to young people between the ages of 4 and 18.

Students are able to combine their Junior Guildhall training with their general education in local schools. They come together to experience and learn about music and drama under the guidance of staff drawn from London’s orchestras and freelance professionals. Most of the students go on to study their chosen discipline full-time at undergraduate level, eventually making careers in the profession, though others can, and do, move into totally different fields.

Junior Guildhall students work to professional standards in a professional context, drawing on a pool of outstanding world-renowned artists who work with us as conductors, coaches and tutors.

Our 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 very 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 the Guildhall School provides them with valuable life skills and the means to develop their individual talents to the full. The fulfilment of self-expression and self-discovery together with skills of communication and responsibility will have an enduring influence upon their lives.

Guildhall School of Music & Drama

The Guildhall School of Music & Drama is one of the world’s leading conservatoires and drama schools. Established in 1880, we are now situated next to the Barbican Centre on Silk Street in the City of London, with some of the best facilities in the UK. On the edge of London’s lively East End and at the heart of the City’s major cultural institutions, we offer an exciting and inspiring location to study music and drama. In addition, our brand new facilities in Milton Court opened in 2013, with a world-class concert hall, theatre, studios and rehearsal rooms.

For the last two years we have been rated No. 1 specialist institution in the UK by the Guardian University Guide, which is testament to the quality of our teaching and student experience. The way music and drama is taught and learnt at Guildhall School tests conventions. We break down boundaries between traditional art forms and encourage cross-arts collaborations. We innovate and experiment, reflecting and exploring the big questions that affect us as artists.

Links between the full-time courses of the Guildhall School and Junior Guildhall are strong and many professors teach on both programmes. Junior Guildhall students are often invited to participate in the School’s events and, on Saturdays, the entire facilities of the School are given over to Junior Guildhall.

Visitors are always welcome – if you wish to arrange a visit please contact the Junior Guildhall office. See page 44 for our contact details.

Guildhall School is located in the heart of London, one of the most exciting cities in the world. Studying music or drama in this culturally-rich and dynamic environment is a unique experience.

Our neighbourhood

Our campus is situated in a vibrant quarter of cultural venues. This growing cultural hub, which stretches from Guildhall School and our immediate neighbour the Barbican Centre to the Barbican’s new cinemas, LSO St Luke’s and the Museum of London, offers a range of impressive performance and exhibition spaces all within walking distance. We are also right on the edge of East London, with all its creative bustle and energy. And nestled between the popular areas of Shoreditch and Clerkenwell, we are close to some of London’s most famous landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral, the Gherkin and the Shard.

Our facilities

Our facilities include the Grade II-listed Silk Street building, part of the distinctive and architecturally-renowned Barbican complex, and Milton Court, our brand new site just across the road. Opened in autumn 2013, Milton Court houses world-class performance and training spaces. It includes a state-of-the-art concert hall, a lyric theatre, a studio theatre and several major rehearsal rooms. Silk Street offers a more intimate music hall, a dedicated lecture recital room, and a completely flexible theatre, theatrical workshops and labs, electronic music studios, recording and sound studios, and over 40 teaching and practice rooms. We also have an annexe with a further 44 teaching and practice rooms, where the String Training Programme takes place.

Much of who we are and what we do is shaped by collaboration. We are always looking for ways to collaborate, and we have established a number of partnerships to enhance the Junior Guildhall student experience.

Barbican Centre

The Barbican Centre is Europe’s largest multi-arts and conference centre. It pushes the boundaries of all major art forms including dance, film, music, theatre and visual arts and is situated immediately next door to Guildhall School within the iconic Barbican Estate.

The Barbican and the School enjoy a unique educational and cultural partnership. Built over many years, this partnership provides a number of exceptional learning opportunities. These include masterclasses and projects with the London Symphony Orchestra, resident orchestra at the Barbican, and the Barbican’s International Associate Orchestras (Gewandhaus Orchester, Jazz at Lincoln Center, LA Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, and the Royal Concertgebouw). Junior Guildhall students are involved in many of these projects.

Felsted School

Junior Guildhall has developed an exciting new partnership with the

independent and boarding day school, Felsted School. This offers talented musicians a unique pathway to study at both Felsted School and Junior Guildhall and also provides a new programme for beginners, open to the wider community and taking place at Felsted School.

Music Course Partnership The music course partnership, the first educational collaboration of its kind in the UK, offers talented musicians an unrivalled range of benefits and opportunities. By following a tailored academic programme at Felsted, selected students will benefit from the flexibility to study music at Junior Guildhall as well as in the Felsted Music Department.

Talented students may apply for a scholarship in all instruments (including voice, from mid-teens). Entry is available for students aged 11, 13 and 16. Those students awarded a joint scholarship will have their fees paid by Felsted School up to a maximum of £5,000 per year for as long as the scholar remains a student of Junior Guildhall.

String Training Programme at Felsted School

In addition to Junior Guildhall’s highly successful String Training Programme in London, we also run a similar programme based at Felsted School, Essex allowing children from across the community to follow the course in the excellent facilities of the Felsted School music department.

Joint Junior Guildhall & City of London School for Girls Scholarships

There are two scholarships, one for Years 12 & 13 and one for Years 9-11. These competitive scholarships are awarded to outstanding musicians of high academic attainment. Successful applicants join the City of London Girls’ School for academic work and receive specialist musical training through Junior Guildhall.

The scholarships, which consider financial need, cover up to full fees at

the City of London School for Girls and up to the full Basic Course Fee at Junior Guildhall. Initial enquiries should be made to the City of London School for Girls (clsg.org.uk). Auditions are usually held in November for entry in the following September.

Aldeburgh Young Musicians

Junior Guildhall has a partnership with Aldeburgh Young Musicians (AYM) whose courses offer advanced music mentoring and development opportunities in an inspirational landscape. Students enrolled with AYM may also apply for ensemble work at Junior Guildhall. In the first instance, contact AYM for details (aldeburgh.co.uk/aym).

Portuguese Chamber Orchestra OCPzero

OCP is an independent chamber orchestra created in 2007, based on partnerships with the private sector and funded by Linklaters. The OCPzero project provides a national orchestra for Portuguese young musicians aged 18 and under, building on a cultural and musical exchange with Junior Guildhall students. Staff and students from Junior Guildhall work and perform together with their Portuguese counterparts.

The well-being of our students is a prerequisite for their success. As students start out at Junior Guildhall, there may be times when they will need help or advice. The Head of Junior Guildhall and Head of Junior Music Courses are always available to counsel students and parents and to offer careers advice. In addition, there are three heads of section and seven coordinators to oversee the students’ studies and help cater for their special, individual needs.

Please note that the School does not provide supervision of children when they are not attending a timetabled activity. However, parents are welcome on the premises on Saturdays.

Library and sheet music

Junior Guildhall has an extensive library of ensemble music which tutors are able to borrow. Students may sign out individual parts for pieces their group is rehearsing.

Junior Guildhall students may also join the Barbican Library which is open on Saturdays.

The Barbican Chimes Music Shop is located on Silk Street, from which sheet music can be bought and ordered. Junior Guildhall students are entitled to a 10% discount on music bought through the shop.

Audio visual resources

The School’s recording studio incorporates an advanced industry standard Pro Tools recording and production system. Most concerts are recorded for archiving purposes and parents may obtain recordings of concerts in which their children have performed.

There are also two elaborately equipped electronic studios, which boast a comprehensive range of synthesisers, samplers, effects units and computer systems.

Facilities

Junior Guildhall has full use of the School’s facilities on Saturdays. The Music Course is based in the Silk Street

building attached to the Barbican Centre. The Drama Course is based in the School’s new building, Milton Court. The String Training Programme and Kindergarten Courses are located at the John Hosier Practice Annexe near Barbican tube station, a few minutes’ walk from the Silk Street building. The entrance is approached from Fann Street. Concerts and rehearsals also take place in Milton Court.

Open days

All Saturdays during term time are considered open days; parents and their children are welcome to look around the school, attend rehearsals, observe classes (if arranged in advance) and listen to any of the concerts, workshops or masterclasses arranged by Junior Guildhall.

The Head of Junior Guildhall and Head of Junior Music Courses are always available on Saturdays to discuss the opportunities available at the Guildhall School. If you wish to speak to either member of staff, please arrange an appointment in advance.

Accompanists

Junior Guildhall has its own team of professional accompanists who work with the students in preparation for concerts, workshops, masterclasses and assessed performances.

Equal opportunities

The Guildhall School aims to promote equality of opportunity through education provision so that no student or prospective student receives less favourable treatment than another on the grounds of sex, marital status, colour, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, political or religious belief. The School is committed to the quality of opportunity through access to and fair treatment in the services that it provides and the facilities that it offers to its students and its employees.

Junior Guildhall’s Music Course offers advanced training for young people between the ages of 8 to 18 (singers from mid-teens).

This comprehensive programme is carefully designed to give pupils a balanced exposure to the discipline of music through individual instrumental lessons, chamber music, orchestras, choirs, workshop activity, classes and frequent performance opportunities. Students receive the type of considered personal attention that young musicians really benefit from, with the timetable tailored to their individual needs. An exciting curriculum, combined with the School’s modern facilities and professional staff, creates a unique environment for aspiring performers.

Entry to the Music Course is by audition where we look for musical potential and commitment. Students travel to Junior Guildhall from across the UK, enabling them to live at home and continue their general education during the week, travelling to London on a Saturday for their specialist musical education.

There are approximately 240 students who attend the Music Course, which runs from 8am to 6pm on Saturdays. All students receive an individually constructed timetable. There are compulsory activities and a number of optional classes and lessons. The length of each student’s programme will, therefore, depend on the number of optional activities chosen.

Each student receives 30 lessons in each subject divided between three terms over the academic year. There are also a number of extra Saturdays each term which are used for rehearsals, workshops and events.

The minimum requirement of the Music Course consists of:

• A 40 minute individual lesson (this can be extended at an additional cost)

• Ensemble or related workshop activity• Musical Awareness Class

“I chose to come to Junior Guildhall because the moment I walked in I felt alive with the buzz of the music. It was everywhere! That passion inspires me more and more every week to be a professional musician and to get that inspiration from people so young is humbling to say the least. I also love the fact that I can spend the whole day with like-minded people my own age. At Junior Guildhall, my friends debate about controversial styles, learn from new ones and appreciate any music they can listen to.

In the future, I plan on following a career in music, specifically to become a professional harpist.”

Individual lessons

Students automatically receive a first-study lesson lasting 40 minutes. This may be extended to one hour or longer for which an extra charge is made. Students are expected to devote a considerable amount of time to regular private practice during the week, which is essential if a student is to make good progress. Additional lessons can often be arranged with teachers, for example during the holidays or midweek.

First study lessons can be provided in the following:

ViolinViolaCelloDouble BassFluteOboeClarinetBassoonHornTrumpetTromboneTubaEuphoniumPianoHarpVoiceGuitarRecorderSaxophonePercussionComposition

Extra Study

As well as extensions to the first study lessons, students may request to have extra study lessons in any of those subjects available as first studies for an extra charge. In addition, music course students can also take extra study lessons in Jazz Saxophone and Jazz Piano.

Alexander Technique lessons

Both individual and group Alexander Technique lessons are available with a specialist Alexander Technique teacher.These either consist of 15 individual sessions per annum or 30 group sessions per annum. Each session lasts for 30 minutes.

Ensemble & workshop activity

For each subject there are specialist classes, workshops and ensembles. All students are expected to attend at least one ensemble or workshop activity which is directly relevant to their first study subject. These include:

Musical Awareness

Musical Awareness is a one hour class taught in small groups to develop aural perception, creativity and general musical knowledge leading to our Higher Certificate in Music examination which is usually taken in Year 11. There is a flexible syllabus divided into levels to ensure progress and continuity. In special cases, supplementary theory and aural training classes are available. Students in our Upper School (mainly in Years 12 & 13) are offered a range of optional classes including an A-Level Support Class, Jazz, Conducting and an Electronic Studio class.

Examinations

Although no great emphasis is placed on graded examinations we recognise that many students like to take them. Students may take graded examinations or diplomas of any recognised board.Our own internal examinations are kept to a minimum, giving preference to platform performance. All students in the top level of our Middle School (usually Year 11 students) take our internal Higher Certificate in Music examination (further details are available on request from the Junior Guildhall Office) and all students in Year 11 take a formal performance assessment.

Students in their first year at Junior Guildhall have their place reviewed by taking a formal performance assessment.

“There were several reasons why I chose to study at Junior Guildhall. I was very impressed with the standard of playing from the brass players and also the wide variety of ensembles on offer.

There are lots of performing opportunities and as well as many performances within Guildhall, I have also had opportunities to play in other venues outside including playing on the Mayor’s barge for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee River Pageant, the Dudamel project, the opening of Milton Court, the House of Lords and on the Millennium Bridge for an event marking the Commonwealth Games.”

Junior Guildhall direct entry to BMus2

Junior Guildhall offers a direct entry route to the second year of the Guildhall School’s BMus course (BMus2) for students with exceptional performance and academic ability. This provides a significant cost-saving advantage for those who wish to pursue higher education studies at the Guildhall School, as students entering BMus2 will only need to complete three years of full-time study to obtain their degree.

Students on this course may be able to audition early and could be offered a conditional place by the end of Year 12, avoiding the need to audition at other conservatoires. Students will be selected for this course by the Junior Guildhall Senior Management Team based on their performance and academic ability and teacher recommendation. Students for this option must be studying on the Music Course at Junior Guildhall and will typically start the course in Year 12.

Offers for direct entry to BMus 2 will be conditional upon meeting the principal study entry requirement for BMus Year 2 and successfully passing assessments in Aural, Harmony and written work at BMus Year 1 level by the end of May prior to the start of the academic year of entry. Additionally, successful applicants will need to demonstrate 60 hours of workshop or ensemble activity in the year prior to entry.

Performance opportunities

Performance is a central part of our work at Junior Guildhall and there are over 80 student concerts a year including Public Concerts, Student Recitals, Chamber Concerts, informal Open House Concerts and Second Study Concerts.

Students have given television and radio recordings and external performances have taken place at the Barbican Hall, Fairfield Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, Wales Millennium Centre, St James’s Piccadilly, St John’s Smith Square, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Snape Maltings Concert Hall, the Southbank Centre, St Lawrence Jewry, Bishopsgate Institute, Charlton House, Regent Hall and West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge.

Concert tours are sometimes organised, the most recent being to Spain, Devon and Scotland.

Visiting artists

Masterclasses and workshops are given by distinguished visiting artists and by members of Junior Guildhall professorial staff. They include guest

performances, masterclasses, ensemble coaching and composition projects. We introduce students to new ideas and music from other cultures and have arranged sessions on music therapy, instrument technology, recording techniques, jazz and improvisation, musical style and analysis and performance and communication.

“I had come to a point where I wanted to further my musical education, and felt that my local musical environment did not offer sufficient opportunities. As soon as I set foot in Junior Guildhall, the first thing I noticed was the friendly atmosphere shared between students and teachers. Not only this, but the standard of music left me in no doubt that I wanted to study here. I love how a professional environment is emulated here, as the relationship between students and teachers enables you to realise your full potential. Even just having the opportunity to share every weekend with like-minded musicians is, in itself, a fantastic experience.Junior Guildhall has taught me how to work as a professional and how to strive for the highest possible goals.”

In response to the growing demand for expert training of very young children, the Guildhall School has developed a string course for beginners or recent starters. It takes place on Saturdays in the School’s John Hosier Practice Annexe, which offers a secure environment for young children. The children receive 30 lessons in each subject over the academic year divided between three terms. There are also a few extra Saturdays on which teachers can offer “make-up” lessons.

There are approximately 150 students on the Programme and the teaching takes place between 8.00am and 3.30pm. Instruments taught on the programme are the violin, viola, cello, mini bass, harp and guitar.

The programme aims to provide children with:• an integrated programme embracing Kodály, Dalcroze, ensemble training and instrumental tuition• an enjoyable first experience of music-making• a good grounding in basic musical skills• a firm technical grounding on their chosen instrument• fun and games in group music-making

The String Training Programme provides a thorough training in all the musical and technical aspects of learning a string instrument for children aged between six and eleven years old. It uses a curricular approach to teaching based on the Kodály method, Eurhythmics and the Guildhall School’s string curriculum. It aims to make learning fun, drawing on games and exercises that stimulate the children while allowing them to learn in a structured manner. Teachers are specialists in their given area of teaching and have a working knowledge of the other disciplines being taught. All staff are highly qualified and experienced teachers.

By the end of the String Training Programme, children will have learned a series of musical skills which they will be able to apply to their instrumental studies. The children are all encouraged to work to their fullest ability and those who show particular talent and commitment to their musical studies can audition for a place on the Junior Guildhall Music Course.

Students usually enter the programme at the beginning of Year 2* (Year 2 children are those who have their seventh birthday on or between 1 September and 31 August) and can

remain on the programme up to the end of Year 6. There are a limited number of places available and entry, therefore, is highly competitive (see page 38 for details).

There is a set course fee for Years 2 to 6. The instrumental lesson automatically increases from 20 to 30 minutes as children progress to Year 3. The length of the lesson may be increased with both teacher and parental approval. Extra study piano lessons can also be requested.

If the length of the instrumental lesson is increased, or if piano lessons are taken, there is an extra charge.

*There are sometimes a few places available for children, who have already started learning an instrument, to enter in Years 3 to 5. Please contact the Junior Guildhall office for availability. We generally have space available for any children wishing to study the mini bass.

“I chose Junior Guildhall because there is a very warm atmosphere. I attend lessons and ensembles, learn much about new repertoire and performance, meet lovely people with like minds who share my enthusiasm. The best thing about Junior Guildhall is the high-qualified teachers and opportunities to play in great halls. I would like to study at senior Guildhall and, because I’ve been at Junior Guildhall, I feel like I am at home and don’t want to apply to other conservatoires.”

Instruments

It is possible to buy or rent instruments very reasonably and the School will help with relevant information.

Kindergarten Course

The Kindergarten Course sits under the umbrella of the String Training Programme and offers classes in Kodály and Eurhythmics for children in Reception Year and Year 1 (Reception Year children are those who have their fifth birthday on or between 1 September and 31 August and Year 1 are those who have their sixth birthday on or between these dates). The classes take place in the afternoon and are 30 minutes in length.

Children attend for three 10 week terms in line with the String Training Programme.

Entry onto the Kindergarten Course is usually in Reception Year. There is no audition procedure and no prior musical training is necessary. However there is often a waiting list as the Course is frequently oversubscribed. The Kindergarten Course at Felsted currently has places available in both Reception Year and Year 1 (see below).

Junior Guildhall String Training Programme at Felsted School

In addition to Junior Guildhall’s highly successful String Training Programme in London, we have now established a similar programme at Felsted School in Essex allowing children from across the community to follow the course in the excellent facilities of the Felsted School music department.

Instruments taught on the programme are the violin, viola, cello and mini bass.

Piano is available as an extra study.

The programme follows the main elements of the London course: Kodály, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, ensemble training and instrumental tuition.

There are currently places available for beginners and recent starters to join in Years 2 to 5.

*Year 2 children are those who have their seventh birthday on or between 1 September and 31 August

When applying online, please ensure that the ‘Felsted School courses’ option is selected.

The ethos of the Drama Course is to develop the imagination and the senses through improvisation, drama games and techniques, with a gradual emphasis on dramatic skills. The course is open to pupils between the ages of 13 and 18.

Ensemble playing and solo work allow students to develop their physical, vocal, critical and interpretative skills while exploring their creative and expressive capacities. All aspects of story-telling techniques are explored, including music, as are various styles of performance and presentation, not only with the resident tutors but also with visiting artists, including composers, playwrights, choreographers and actors.

Approximately 50 students attend the course on Saturdays which offers two classes, both of which provide a platform for talented young people to develop expressive and communication skills. The course is delivered over 36 Saturdays each year.

Performance

Both classes give performances of their work at the end of each term. These are called Showings; the 9am class presents a Poetry Showing and the 10.45am class a Drama Showing.

Advice

The tutors are always available to discuss a student’s progress and aspirations, or to offer help and advice regarding approaches to auditions.

9am–10.30am Single class

Entry is subject to an informal audition. Training is skills-based with an equal emphasis on solo and ensemble work.

10.45am–3pm Double class

This class includes a break for lunch. Entry is subject to an audition for newcomers, or recommendation by the resident tutor for students previously in the 9am class. The work builds on the skills developed by students in the 9am class and encourages in-depth work and a mature approach by the participants. Additionally the work involves exploring text and culminates in long-term projects. This class can complement a student’s GCSE and A-level drama courses.

“I love my teacher – he’s just the best guy! One of the great things about Andy is that while he is an expert in trumpet technique, he is very keen for his students to find their own way of doing things. That said, he does stop me when I go a bit too far! This experimental way of teaching technique has meant that I feel prepared for pretty much any scenario that I could be confronted by while working in the business.

Not only is everyone lovely but they all share my passion for music-making. Also many of these people will be my future colleagues and this head start in the business is vital – I already have loads of contacts.”

Music Course

Entry is by competitive audition. The main audition period is from 14 February to 25 April for entry in September 2015 but applications for entry at other times of the year will always be considered. Applications are accepted from 5 January for entry the following September and the closing date for applications is 1 March. All audition dates are made at the discretion of the Head of Junior Guildhall to allow for the convening of specialist panels. Auditions are scheduled on any day from Monday to Saturday inclusive.

Panels will usually be chaired by either the Head of Junior Guildhall or the Head of Junior Music Courses along with the relevant specialist or head of department.

While auditions are highly competitive, it is difficult to offer advice about the required standard beforehand. The panel will be looking for potential as well as achievement and dedication. As a rough guide, candidates will normally have attained a standard of about Grade 5 distinction at the age of 10 and Grade 8 distinction by the age of 16. It is not necessary to have taken any grade examination before the audition. Pre-audition advice sessions are available.

Candidates are assessed in five basic areas of performance, covering musical

awareness, quality of sound, accuracy, communication, and control of instrument.

Audition requirements

1 First-study – two contrasting pieces2 Second-study (optional) – one piece3 Some scales and arpeggios4 Sight-reading5 Questions may be asked and tests

given to ascertain a student’s level of general musicianship

Exceptions

Singers are not expected to sing scales and arpeggios but should bring to the audition a prepared short prose or poetry reading.

Percussionists, where possible, should present three pieces one on each of the following instruments: tuned percussion, timpani and snare drum. Orchestral repertoire is not considered suitable. The total performing time should not exceed ten minutes. Less-advanced or young players may offer only one or two of these instruments, but this should be agreed with the School in advance of the audition.

Composers should send to the Junior Guildhall office copies of three of their recent compositions. They will then be invited to an interview. At this candidates should be ready to play a prepared piece on an instrument of their choice, do some sight-reading and simple improvisation tests. Questions will be asked and tests given to ascertain a student’s level of general musicianship.

Consultation lessons Consultation lessons with a member of the School’s teaching staff can be arranged for students who have been offered a place on the Music Course. There is a charge for this facility.

How to apply All applications should be made online via the School website: gsmd.ac.uk

If you prefer to send in a paper application please contact the Junior Guildhall office (see page 44 for contact details).

• One piece of the candidate’s choice on tuned percussion

• One study of the candidate’s choice on timpani

• Snare drum sight-reading and rudiments to include: five stroke roll, long roll, flam tap and triple ratamacue

NB. Percussion instruments will be available at the audition although candidates are advised to bring their own sticks, cymbals and any other appropriate equipment.

Pre-audition advice Junior Guildhall offers pre-audition advice with specialist teachers for prospective students. This will normally be a one-to-one session but the student’s parent/carer may also attend. The teacher may offer advice on musical interpretation and technical set-up and indicate whether the student is suitable for a Junior Guildhall audition. Please note that any indication given is not a guarantee of passing an audition.

String Training Programme

Kindergarten Course – Reception & Year 1*

There is no audition procedure and no prior musical training is necessary to start the Kindergarten Course. However, there are a limited number of places available for each year group (Reception Year and Year 1) and there is currently a waiting list for the next few years. For entry into Reception Year up to September 2016 inclusive, children will be selected on a first come first served basis. Due to the high demand for this programme the procedure will change from September 2017 to one of random selection.

Entry to Year 2* of the String Training Programme For entry in September 2015, there will be a small number of children invited from Year 1 of the Kindergarten Course to attend Year 2 of the String Training Programme.

Applications for Entry into Year 3 to Year 5

It is sometimes possible for children, particularly those interested in mini bass, to enter the programme in Year 3 upwards. However, these places are limited and dependent on other students leaving the programme. In the first instance parents should contact the Junior Guildhall office to check on availability of places.

Following application a formal audition will be arranged. The nature of the audition will depend upon the level of musical experience of the child but generally a child who is already learning an instrument should be prepared

to play two contrasting pieces, a few scales, sight-reading and to answer a few general questions to establish level of musicianship. Selection will be based on evidence of musical potential, ability to concentrate and the level of development of motor skills. *Reception Year children are those who have their fifth birthday on or between 1 September and 31 August, Year 1 are those who have their sixth birthday on or between these dates and Year 2 are those who have their seventh birthday on or between these dates.

Drama Course

The Drama Course has an informal audition procedure and it is not necessary to prepare material beforehand.

Candidates will be asked to attend the School on a term time Saturday. Successful candidates are then invited to attend either the 9am class or the 10.45am class for a probationary term.

Once audition dates have been allocated, letters inviting candidates to the audition will be issued enclosing further information.

Late applications

Late applications will generally be considered. However, there may be a delay in arranging an audition date. We do try to hear all applicants but cannot guarantee a place even if the student is of our entry level. In such cases students may be placed on a reserve list.

A limited number of places are still available for the Kindergarten Course and String Training Programme taking place at Felsted School.

“I chose Junior Guildhall because I love the atmosphere and everyone has so much fun. The best thing about studying here is the variety of groups I play in and all the opportunities for performing in top class venues.

I plan to apply to study at a music college in London and Junior Guildhall has given me the perfect preparation for this.”

Bursaries

Bursaries are available to all Junior Guildhall students. The School makes strenuous efforts to help all applicants in need of financial support. All bursaries are awarded on a means-tested basis. Applications should be received by 1 May for students entering in the following September. Students receive financial support through a number of charitable trusts and organisations including the Leverhulme Trust, Wolfson Foundation, the Bianca and Stuart Roden Music Bursaries, the Ruth David & John Beckett Bursary and the International Cultural Exchange bursary.

National Grants for Music and Dance

These grants are funded through the Department for Education’s Music and Dance Scheme. They are intended for young musicians aged 8 to 16 with exceptional potential and dedication who do not have the financial means to access the best available training. Students offered places on the Music Course or Jazz Programme are eligible for these grants.

Application for all bursaries are made through the Junior Guildhall Bursary Scheme.

Junior Guildhall Scholarships

These are awarded to outstanding musicians either through the entrance audition or, in the case of existing students, through Junior Guildhall assessment procedures. No application is required.

Most scholarships are worth between £250 and £1,000.

Junior Guildhall would like to thank the following for their generosity in supporting Junior Guildhall scholarships:

These notes are taken from the Agreement parents sign when accepting a Junior Guildhall place. If you would like a copy of the Agreement please contact the Junior Guildhall office.

Junior Guildhall students are not permitted to participate in masterclasses or take instrumental lessons outside the School (unless with the student’s Junior Guildhall teacher) on instruments studied at the School unless permission is granted by the Head of Junior Guildhall or Head of Junior Music Courses.

The full annual fee will vary according to any timetable requests made and the first instalment of fees must be paid prior to the commencement of tuition.

Students are expected to remain at Junior Guildhall for a full academic year (or remainder of the academic year if tuition commenced after the start of the year). If a parent wishes to withdraw a student at the end of the academic year notice must be given in writing to the Head of Junior Guildhall no later than 1 April.

Students are accepted into Junior Guildhall on the understanding that they make satisfactory progress and that they attend regularly. When students wish to be absent, permission must be requested in writing to the Head of Junior Guildhall or Head of Junior Music Courses. Students should not arrange other activities on a term time Saturday or concert day until permission for absence has been granted by the School.

Please note that we do not give students permission to miss concerts/performances or important rehearsals.

Leave of absence will normally be granted for days when a student is not involved in a concert/performance, an important rehearsal, an internal assessment or other important event. Repeated absence can be detrimental to a student’s musical progress and very disruptive to ensemble work. For this reason, the Head of Junior Guildhall or Head of Junior Music Courses will normally only grant a student one absence per term. Absence from Saturdays may reduce a student’s chances of participation in Chamber Music.

Written requests for absence should be made as early as possible.

In the interest of all students, Junior Guildhall concerts and performances must have priority over any outside engagements that students may be offered. Principal concert dates are available from the Administrator more than a year in advance.

The Office should be informed as soon as possible if a student is ill so that relevant teachers can be notified.

The School occasionally arranges for photographs to be taken of the students. This is carried out in an unobtrusive manner and may be used for record and archival purposes. Junior Guildhall will seek separate permission if the images are to be used in the prospectus or in other published material and/or multi media relating to the School.

These notes and conditions are subject to change from time to time. Parents will be notified in writing in advance of any such changes. On accepting a place parents will receive a Handbook which details Junior Guildhall’s procedures and policies.

“Auditioning for Junior Guildhall was a natural progression after the String Training Programme. The best things about Junior Guildhall are the wide range of musical skills taught by fantastic, supportive teachers and the students, who are passionate about music. Attending Junior Guildhall has allowed me to seriously consider a music-related career and also hugely boosted my self-confidence.”
