The Pembroke Academy of Music (PAM) is an open-access music education programme with a vision that all young people should have the opportunity to learn and grow through high-quality engagement with music.

PAM includes:

• Weekly instrument tuition in either violin, cello, trumpet, trombone, guitar, clarinet, or flute;
• Weekly in-depth music-making sessions in ensemble work, musicianship, music theory, and biweekly composition lessons;
• Termly solo and ensemble performance opportunities in the Walworth community;
• Collaborative music projects with our local music organisations such as: Youthsayers Music, Orpheus Sinfonia, Brixton Chamber Orchestra.
• Travel to Cambridge and participate in music workshops with the Pembroke College Chapel Choir
