Welcome to Gloucester Academy of Music
Gloucester Academy of Music (GAM to its friends!) offers an exceptional level of professional tuition in an informal and friendly atmosphere. We are very successful in creating musical opportunities for all ages and abilities, encouraging the very young to love music and develop their potential and creating an atmosphere where adults feel they can continue, rediscover or even find a new love of playing. Please look at the information about our programmes on this website: we have found that there is usually something for everyone.

Beauchamp House International Music and Drama Courses for 2008
Our summer school music courses are legendry.
The Beauchamp House International Music and Drama courses have now been
running for over 20 years and provide a combination of the
highest standard music and drama tuition coupled with the opportunity for great
fun: an experience not to be missed!
We have established a unique reputation for our range of residential and
non-residential music and drama summer school courses and are sure that this high
standard will continue in 2008.
Located in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside, camping in a charming
location proves to be a particular attraction for our students.
