Find out More >The Blackheath Conservatoire is a registered charity serving the Boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich with Arts and Music education since 1896. The Blackheath Conservatoire receives over 2000 visitors a week for a huge range of individual and group activities.
We are also an ABRSM exam centre and host over 400 music exams each term. Our experienced tutors are all practising artists and musicians providing personalised support and a huge range of interactive experiences to inspire curiosity and nurture academic success.
""Our choir is healing, it is restorative, it is spiritual. We become a united group of people wanting to express ourselves through music.""
“The 'Little Art Venture' course is an absolute gem! As a parent, I was thrilled to see my child's creativity flourish under the guidance of the instructors."
"The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and free expression, allowing children to explore various art forms while developing their skills.”
“My daughter loves her music class and is growing in confidence.”
“The programme is clearly expertly considered. The wide range of props, music instruments, and fantastic new arrangements of nursery rhymes is wonderful!”
“My son says his tutor is the best at teaching, explaining and giving advice. Also, she commented my tutor is extremely patient, caring and makes me progress.”
“The choir is fabulous fun. There is a real sense of community and Elspeth teaches us a lot of technique, without it feeling like teaching!”
“The course leader was encouraging and gave useful feedback and suggestions. The atmosphere was very positive. I was curious to see what the following week would entail in terms of artistic style and quality of materials.”
“Playing in a group is so rewarding. The Tutors are all musically brilliant, and also dedicated and full of enthusiasm.”
The Blackheath Consevatoire is delighted to offer over 100 funded places each year.
These are funded by local donors and foundations to help young learners from more disdvantaged households access music and art lessons.
The Blackheath Consevatoire delivers music and art groups at locations around London each week.
These are funded by a variety of service providers and help bring the joy of music to groups who might not otherwise be able to visit our centre in Blackheath.
