Leadership and Governance
Around 50 full-time members of staff (including support staff) and nearly 200 visiting specialist tutors work at the Conservatoire. This means that for roughly every two students there is one member of staff.
The vast majority of our tutors are active professional musicians, dividing their time between performing or composing and teaching. All are dedicated and experienced musicians with a passion for inspiring and training the next generation of professionals.
For a full list of staff in each department or area, as well as selected biographies, please go to the Music Departments and Tutors page, or the Acting staff.听
