CYM London provides opportunities for students with a special interest in music from absolute beginner to diploma standard.
It is currently headed by Bryan Welton and is part of Guildhall School’s network of centres across the country, providing performing arts training for children and young people.
[1] CYM employs top practitioners and industry professionals across a variety of styles and genres with accompanists always available for students to practise with prior to concerts and exams.
Extra curricular and lunchtime activities may include master classes with instrumentalists, exam techniques, public performance preparation and departmental concerts.
Departments and Heads: CYM also organises the LSSO (London Schools Symphony Orchestra) and its companion ensemble, the LYWB - London Youth Wind Band, formed in 2003, to provide more opportunities for wind, brass and percussion players to work at the high musical levels achieved by the LSSO and to perform in major venues.
