| Easter Music Course |
The Guildhall School offers a wide range courses above and beyond full-time study. There are Summer Evening Courses, Easter Short Courses and Summer Schools, with many courses offered on-line.
The Easter Short Course programme features 15 short courses, 6 of which are brand new. These include 4 drama courses, 2 new writing courses, 8 music courses and 1 new skills for the creative industry course. The deadline to book for all Easter short courses is 5pm, Thursday 2 April 2026, or when the course reaches full capacity.
The Easter Music Course is for young instrumentalists aged 8 to 13 playing any bowed string, wind, brass or percussion instrument (Grade 1 or above: equivalent to one year’s experience), who are looking to gain some ensemble experience in different performance settings including orchestra, small ensembles, and choir. The course culminates in an informal concert for friends and family to showcase the work they have developed during the course, including a piece of original music, which will be created as a group. This course is taught by tutors from Junior Guildhall, led by Spencer Down – Brass Coordinator at Junior Guildhall and Creative Director of Guildhall Young Artists.
New courses include two in-person three-day Acting Intensive courses, for ages 11 to 14, and 15 to 17, delving into modern industry practice, building upon traditional Stanislavsky-based methods. Another new, in-person course is Movement for Musicians, designed to inspire fresh enthusiasm and awareness for the importance of bodywork and movement in artistic practice.
There is a new Creative Writing for Ages 14-17 led by London writer Annie Hayter, and Writing a Solo Show (for 18+ ) designed to help you create a one-person performance from scratch. Focusing on Skills for Creative Industries, there is a new one-day masterclass, Creative Evaluation Methods.
Whilst all the acting courses are in-person, three of the music courses are on-line. Full details from the Guildhall School’s website.
