Although all teaching is done in groups, children are
encouraged to take individual instrumental lessons outwith EYM where this
is appropriate. In addition to employing teaching staff, EYM also employs assistants
to help with many of the classes - usually students or senior pupils.
EYM has recently
moved from James Gillespie's High School. All classes now take
place at St.
Thomas of Aquin's High School, close to Edinburgh City Centre. As well as using
teaching rooms, mainly within the music department, Edinburgh Young
Musicians also has the use of the staff room which is available as a
waiting room for parents and children and which also houses a self-service
coffee shop, organised by parents. The school hall is used on an
occasional basis for concerts.
Edinburgh Young
Musicians is a Recognised Scottish Charity No. SCO33153.
