“SWMS has really helped me to develop my confidence in performance, both through the residentials and workshops. It’s so great to work with other like-minded young musicians from across the South West and everyone is so lovely!”
Flute, Advancing Programme Student
“At SWMS, I have been able to grow my musical passion, experience live performance in a professional setting and make new friends along the way. I’ve been in touch with many of the other musicians from SWMS on the outside and have loved forming bands and close relationships with them. Learning to improvise and create music with others on the spot has opened so many doors for me and I would have never had the opportunity to play with such amazing musicians if it hadn’t been for SWMS.”
Drums & Piano, Advancing Programme Student
“South West Music School has significantly helped my musical and performance skills and confidence. It has provided me with the amazing opportunity to collaborate with other musicians – which is so helpful in that my secondary school hasn’t offered music for the past three years (I was unable to choose GCSE music as a subject). SWMS it has provided me with 1 to 1 mentorship, and access to music lessons, these help guide me as a musician and open up new opportunities for me in the future.”
Piano & Voice, Songwriting Programme
“I just wanted to send my own email thanking you and all of the SWMS tutors for their support and guidance over the years.
There are so many influences and lessons that I will take forward to my undergrad studies and beyond, and I owe a LOT to SWMS for making this possible for me.” (currently studying at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire)
