As you can see from our regular Projects and Events, we have developed links with many of the UK’s leading conservatoires, including Chetham’s School of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Royal College of Music, leading to visits from some of the country’s leading teachers and young musicians. International links are also established with institutions further abroad, such as the Madeiran Escola Das Artes and Coutances Ecole de Musique, leading to opportunities for local young musicians to become involved in tours abroad.

‘We hope to share the expertise of our young musicians and teachers with the island, and will look forward to welcoming Jersey students to Madeira in the near future.’

Dr Ines Jardim,
Director,
Escola Das Artes, Funchal, Madeira

‘The Jersey Academy of Music presents a unique opportunity to develop and nurture the musical talent on the island. The idea of encouraging links with other institutions can only enhance the experience of the young musicians in Jersey.’

Head of Chamber Music,
Guildhall School of Music and Drama

“I have been really impressed by the enthusiasm and vision that Chris George and Emmanuelle Dumas have shown towards the Jersey Academy of Music.  The potential to expand the musical learning and experience of the young musicians on the Island is an important one and having worked recently with the Jersey Instrumental Service and the young people of the island, I feel that there exists a healthy approach and sense of collaboration and consideration which will benefit the many aspiring musicians on Jersey”.
