The Guildhall School of Music & Drama has scored a major financial success for its Electronic & Produced Music (EPM) department, which has been growing in popularity with students in recent years.
The London-based conservatoire has been awarded £500,000 to turn its studio and teaching spaces into ‘state-of-the-art’ facilities, with work beginning this summer. Existing spaces will be refurbished, while new equipment will be bought and installed for new studios.
More than 200 students will benefit from the upgrade, with the EPM cohort set to expand this autumn. Some of those are studying on the EPM programme, which leads the UK conservatoire field in offering electronic music as a principal study for its students. Others will use the studios as part of elective modules, which include film music, game audio, songwriting and live electronics.
