Our comprehensive curriculum allows students to tailor their education to match their individual interests and needs. At the start of each academic year, we work closely with families to create a personalised timetable and fee quote that suits them best.
As a result, timetables and fees vary from student to student.
Below, you'll find an overview of each core programme, the associated fees, and information on optional additional classes and the financial support we offer.
Each annual fee includes 30 weeks of teaching (10 weeks per term), plus masterclasses and 40+ performance opportunities over the year.
Sheffield Music Academy is a Department for Education (DfE) Centre for Advanced Training (CAT), supported by the Music and Dance Scheme (MDS). MDS grants are means-tested and help ensure that passionate young musicians can access specialist training, regardless of financial background.
After a successful audition, we will provide you with a proposed timetable and annual fee for your programme of study.
Grant applications are submitted before the start of each academic year. Our office team is happy to guide you through the process and explain which documents are required.
With a wide range of bursaries available, we encourage all families to apply. Even a small grant can make a meaningful difference.
