My advice to Leisa is to apply to Leeds College of Music which is really expanding in co-operation with the BBC -new 2 year old building, with brand new Concert Hall and extensive recording studio facilities just completed.
My daughter is in her 2nd year (Studio Management) and really rates it.
Of course once in Leeds there are at least 10 good (and I mean good !!)bands within easy reach.

Good luck to anyone doing this - it wasn't one of the most pleasant experiences I ever had. I went to RCM, RAM and GSMD. I was late into the written paper at the college, hungover at the academy and got tutted at by the panel at the guildhole. They all offered me places though so it turned out nice in the end.
I hope that those applying get the places they want - it's a great experience.

i can see why Guildhall can be referred to as 'th Guildhole', but the upside is its free to study there, you just have to scrape the barrel for living costs

Well done Ben.
Guildhall's good if you're very into what you're doing. Nic H is there now, im sure he knows a fair bit about it!

I'm at Hudds in my 2nd year and its great. Mr McHappy (McCann) is fine as long as you get on the right side of him i.e turn up for band practise every week and don't play a wrong note.
