One of the benefits of a culturally expanding city such as Sheffield is that there are a lot of teaching and learning opportunities, particularly for younger players. Many of these opportunities are for the ‘high flyers’ and those who devote a high proportion of their efforts and time to musical study.

The Milsom School of Music enthusiastically embraces and celebrates excellence, whilst recognising that high-flyers are in a natural minority amongst musicians and music-lovers. We therefore aim to provide the highest quality of musical training in as broad a context as possible.

All of our students - adult and child alike - are encouraged to fulfill their personal potential. We do not make comparisons between our students and, whilst a little healthy competition can help to motivate all of us, this is not a central principle to what we do.

We want to nurture a love of music, and a deepening understanding and knowledge of this energising, life-enriching artistic medium. We believe, if you like, in music for its own sake and want to share the very privileged position we are in – earning our living from what would otherwise be our hobby!
