About us
Making music since 1981
Gloucestershire Academy of Music (GAM) is a registered charity which offers an exceptional level of professional music tuition in an informal and friendly atmosphere.
For over 40 years we have been creating musical opportunities for all ages and abilities, from individual music lessons and group sessions to performances, courses, workshops and masterclasses.
Reaching over 2,000 participants each year, we encourage members of the community, from the very old to the very young, to love music and through it, to develop and thrive. GAM is a key strategic partner in GSW Music Hub, the county's music hub.
We offer many performing opportunities in the best venues that Gloucestershire has to offer, with a huge range of partner organisations including Cheltenham Festivals, the Carducci Quartet, Longborough Festival of Opera and The Three Choirs Festival.
"The passion, dedication and commitment of all the staff at GAM is inspiring. They have created a community that brings together individuals and families from all around the county, providing countless opportunities for them to develop not just their musical ability, but friendships, confidence and courage. It has the feel of a big, happy family into which all are welcomed and allowed to flourish."
