Centre for Young Musicians

The Centre for Young Musicians, or CYM, is a Saturday music centre in London, England, for children up to 18 who play a musical instrument, currently run by Stephen Dagg. Intermediate beginners are eligible for the school, although there is an audition process.

A standard timetable consists of a 30-minute lesson (some students have a 45 or 60-minute lesson), choir, musicianship, and where applicable, an instrumental ensemble. At years 11–13 students can opt out of choir or musicianship. Other classes include special Grade 5 Theory, composition and various ensembles and band to further their playing skills. An accompanist is available for students to practise with prior to concerts or exams.

Many pupils from CYM also take part in the LSSO (London Schools Symphony Orchestra) or the LYWB (London Youth Wind Band).
