What is NYOS Academy?
NYOS Academy is the new name for the foundation-level project previously known as the NYOS Training Ensembles. It is a short, non-auditioned two-day course aimed at developing ensemble music-making skills for those in the early to intermediate stage of instrumental study.
The non-residential courses are designed for young people to develop their musicianship in a fun, inclusive environment, to enjoy playing as part of a group, and develop essential skills such as listening, teamwork and following a conductor.
The courses are led by a team of sectional directors, with the support of our experienced tutor team.
What does NYOS Academy cost?
The full fee for all NYOS Academy courses is £140 per person, but bursaries are available, and you may be eligible for a free or subsidised place. We can also provide support for travel and accomodation costs.
You can find out more about applying for financial assistance on the dedicated information page. You do not need to supply any information before applying.
