Guildhall Young Artists
Guildhall Young Artists (GYA) provide inspiring performing and production arts training for children and young people aged 4-18.
Learn music from scratch or take your skills to the next level, express yourself with our drama classes or learn backstage skills with our production arts offer. Study in one of our well-equipped centres or from the comfort of your own home with our unique world-leading online classes.
You’ll have opportunities to perform, meet other young creatives, join workshops and exclusive performances.
Financial support is available for children from low-income households. No matter your background, we have options to suit you, encouraging you to be you, creatively.
Our centres in King's Cross, Norwich, Taunton and online accept new students all year round. Our next round of applications for Centre for Young Musicians will open in November 2025, and for Junior Guildhall in January 2026.
