Sheffield Music Academy exists to inspire excellence and provide specialist training for young people aged 8-18yrs with outstanding musical ability, dedication and potential across Sheffield and the surrounding area. Funding is available to all regardless of their social circumstance. Under the Academy’s guidance, students can develop their talent, grow in self-confidence, achieve fulfilment through performance and in turn make positive contributions to the musical activities of their schools and communities. The work of the Academy is enjoyed by the wider public through over forty public performances a year, in locations such as the Sheffield Cathedral, schools, organisations and local churches in our community.
