About
Here at the LSMD we recognise that not all learners are the same and our syllabi cater for individual learner needs. Through structured and systematic learning the LSMD aims to provide a supportive environment to enhance the interest in, and development of music education. The added advantage to our syllabi is that as a candidate progresses through the grades they have the option of their own choice pieces.
