Founded as the Lothian Specialist Music School in 1980, it changed its name in 1996 when Lothian Regional Council was dissolved into four separate unitary councils.

It is a non-residential school, and because it is funded by the City of Edinburgh Council, it charges no fees.

It was awarded a plaque in commemoration of this from Steinway & Sons on 21 July 2009.

[1] In 2018, the council attempted to shut the school down in order to use the funding elsewhere, however, due to uproar in the community from the parents and politicians, the school succeeded in remaining open.
