Although the buildings of St Mary's Music School are currently shut, our music and academic lessons are continuing online for instrumental and chorister pupils alike. We have also changed our admissions procedure to adapt to online submissions.
Online auditions
If you are considering studying at a music school and would like to apply, you simply need to complete the online application form and then submit a series of pieces for review by our panel. Pieces recorded on a smartphone are perfectly acceptable - our audition process is all about getting to know you and understanding not just your ability right now, but more importantly your future potential.
Advisory instead of full audition
Even if you don't think you are ready to apply for a place right now then you can submit pieces for an advisory audition, whereby the panel can provide you with constructive feedback and give you some guidance on the best next steps in your musical journey. This can provide invaluable advice and is well worth taking the time to do if you are passionate about music.
To find out more about how to apply visit our Admissions pages or contact Mrs Walls, Admissions Secretary at mwalls@st-marys-music-school.co.uk who can answer any questions you may have.
