Application

Welcome!  The Centre for Young Musicians Taunton is a fantastic Saturday music school in the South West offering great opportunities to its students, with top quality music tutors with dedication and drive.

The Centre is a very friendly and very happy place full of like-minded, budding young musicians.  It’s so much more than one individual music lesson and, for parents/carers, it represents excellent value for money.

NB: All Guildhall School teaching including CYMT will be online for at least the first half of the Spring Term 2021, due to the extremely serious Covid situation. For CYMT this means the first 5 weeks of term on Saturdays 9, 16, 23, 30 January and 6 February.

Please stay safe and play your favourite music!

If you have any queries please call 07754 217993 or email taunton@cym.org.uk.

Once a place has been confirmed there are two additional forms to be completed by the parent/carer of each student: (1) the Carer Agreement, and (2) the Images Consent Form.  These forms will be sent electronically, and are available in hard copy at CYMT, when new students’ timetables are sent out.

Note to parents/carers of students attending CYMT for Saturday courses in term-time:  The Carer Agreement states that once established on the term-time courses at CYMT, after a trial period usually agreed to be one term, a term’s notice is required to stop attending.  This notice period is required so the Centre can fulfil its obligations to the professional tutors and pay for the facilities, and to ensure a proper commitment is made by the young musicians attending.  The students get the best of the Centre and out of themselves if they commit to attending every Saturday in term time, which also explains why there is no ‘drop-in’ option or fortnightly attendance option. Thank you for your understanding.

CYMT intends for the Autumn Term 2020 to start with an Activities Day / Induction Day on Saturday 12 September 2020 and the term begins on Saturday 19 September 2020.
