A number of academic areas are under review, which include the Conservatory of Music and Drama and the provision of additional apprenticeship places; a possible further cut of 150 out of a total of 300 teaching hours per week across the part-time area (mainly instrumental tuition) effective from September 2003; the intention of cancelling both the pre-instrumental and junior workshop classes which could affect up to 100 children; duration of musicianship classes to be reduced from one hour to forty five minutes; significant increases in student fees; auditions to assess every part-time student with a view to reducing the number of students.
