A World Class Education
The Aberdeen City Music School (ACMS) is one of four Scottish Centres of Excellence for music education, providing exceptionally capable young musicians with the opportunity to reach their full potential. Pupils at ACMS attend Dyce Academy each day for their academic lessons, and then continue with their musical education at ACMS well into the evening. Every week, they receive two hours of lessons on their principal study instrument, as well as time for a second study instrument, music theory lessons, music history classes, and ensemble playing opportunities. ACMS has a boarding facility for pupils out with the Aberdeen area.
