About us

Based at the magnificent property of Chateau Vermont, the Jersey Academy of Music is open to children and young people of all ages, wherever they find themselves on their musical journey.

As well as one-to-one instrumental teaching, study at the Academy also incorporates theory, aural skills, chamber music and orchestral playing groups, as well as plenty of performance opportunities.  We offer group sessions for our very youngest students (with the preschool group starting at just 18 months).  For secondary aged students the innovative Arts Award is on offer, as well as tuition for theory exams up to grade 8, GCSE and A-level music.

Those who receive instrumental or vocal tuition elsewhere on the Island are also welcome to become part of the Academy to broaden their studies in other areas of music-making, including joining theory classes or ensembles – or taking part in our annual summer school. Links with other musical institutions both in the UK and further afield provide a wealth of inspiration, with regular visits from some of the country’s leading teachers and young musicians.

The Academy aims to give every young person the opportunity to achieve their musical potential, with our ethos focusing on both enjoyment and excellence.
