EJMS is the highlight of my son’s week. He loves coming and I have been so impressed by the passion and enthusiasm of everyone involved. EJMS provides everything you could want – excellent teaching in a fun environment with lots of ensembles and orchestras to join at all levels. Students are fully prepared for all aspects of their exams including aural training, theory and weekly practice sessions with an accompanist. You couldn’t ask for anything more!
