The environment at The Purcell School is very positive and encouraging. I am very happy to be studying here with amazing people. I have been given great opportunities by the School such as playing in internal and external concerts and masterclasses, as well as seminars about performance anxiety and mental health. Birce

The Purcell School is very friendly. My teachers have done so much for me, both academically and musically. It was quite hard for me to fit in when I first came, but the teachers helped lots. My dream is to become a music producer or an anime/cartoon composer and the School has helped a lot with that. Tim

The first morning I arrived at the School, all the boarders were in morning practice, so my experience of being surrounded by music was almost instantaneous. And there really is nothing like walking into the School, hearing all this stunning music and realising "I got into this School". Clare

I am a boarder and it feels nice to be around people who love music. The people in my boarding house are all my friends and they are like a family. I think my playing has improved and when I am older I want to play in the Barbican. Evie

It's lovely to be immersed in such an international environment because everyone is unique and interesting. My playing has improved a lot since I joined the school and I feel that I have grown as a musician as well as a person. Victoria

I don't think that I would have developed musically as much as I have, had I not come to this School. The excellent tuition and performance opportunities make an incredibly focused and musical environment that I have been really happy to be studying in. Ben
