Greenwich Music School
Greenwich Music School is a music education charity based in South East London. It was registered as a charity in January 2018.[1][2] based on the private organisation founded in 2016 by professional musicians [3][4] Bethan Scolding and Ed Scolding with the aim of bringing together a team of specialist tutors in different instruments and specialist areas, and developing a bespoke curriculum from early childhood and beginners of any age through to professional level.[5]
Greenwich Music School (GMS) teaches over 250 students every week, providing teacher training, training for professional musicians, instrument and voice lessons and group courses for children and adults at all levels, and the Greenwich Early Years Music programme for babies and toddlers. Students have the opportunity to perform in a concert each term.[6] Notable students have included composer Kathy Cave[7] and the conductor and violinist Alexander Janiczek. [8]
The organisation launched and runs the professional training course London Conducting Academy[9][10], a training course for working professional musicians [11]. London Conducting Academy consists of fortnightly day-long sessions through an academic year and is led by Denise Ham HonARAM, GTCL, ARCM, LTCL together with other distinguished guest tutors, including Colin Metters, Mark Wigglesworth and Christopher Seaman. The training is based on the Toscanini-Barzin method.
In 2018 the music organisation Sound Connections announced that a project by Greenwich Music School was one of four projects selected for the 2018/19 Innovate programme, which incubates unique music projects for children and young people in challenging circumstances in London, and is funded by the National Foundation for Youth Music.[12]
Greenwich Music School offers training for music teachers and and placements for undergraduate and postgraduate music students from institutions including Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. It runs the GMS Teacher Network which connects over 80 members who teach music in any capacity across South-East London, to share ideas, training and best practice.[5]
GMS regularly advocates for music education in the UK, and supports the #BaccfortheFuture campaign to protect the teaching of arts subjects in schools.[13][14][15][16]
