The School was established by Yehudi Menuhin in 1963 to provide the pupils with outstanding teachers, time to practice, frequent opportunities to perform, and a broad musical and academic education, all within a supportive, family community. There are just 86 children aged 8-19 from 28 different backgrounds, learning the stringed instruments and piano to the highest level. School leavers go on to study at top conservatoires
around the globe.
