<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>The London Academy of Music was established by <a href="/facts/Henry_Wylde/qyHtaKj3">Henry Wylde</a> in 1861 in <a href="/facts/St._James%2527s_Hall/lsbuUanv">St. James's Hall</a>; there were separate sections for men and women.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24"><sup>24</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25"><sup>25</sup></a> Teaching began on 15 November 1861, at which time the cost per annum was 15 <a href="/facts/Guinea_(coin)/4h8hIU2R">guineas</a>, or £15 15s 0d.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26"><sup>26</sup></a> Students of all ages "with a decided talent, or showing an aptitude for learning" were admitted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27"><sup>27</sup></a> Full scholarships were available.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28"><sup>28</sup></a> The first philharmonic concert was held on 29 April 1863, following a public rehearsal on 25 April.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29"><sup>29</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30"><sup>30</sup></a> It was a performance of <a href="/facts/Symphony_No._3_(Mendelssohn)/4y0JjUAN">Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a> </p><p>Providing training for, and examinations in, various musical disciplines was originally the dominant purpose of the institution. However, providing instruction in spoken English quickly became a core area of the academy's work. </p><p>In the 1880s, LAMDA began offering speech examinations to the public. Since then, these examinations have been refined and developed into a comprehensive system of performance evaluation. LAMDA Examinations has emerged as the largest Speech and Drama Board in the United Kingdom. </p><p>In 1904, the school was amalgamated with two other London music institutions that had sprung up since the academy was founded, namely the <a href="/facts/London_Organ_School_and_College_of_Music/wggmWeQa">London Music School</a> (founded 1865) and the <a href="/facts/Forest_Gate_School_of_Music/1aRP7r2h">Forest Gate School of Music</a> (founded 1885) renamed in 1906 the Metropolitan Academy of Music. (The Metropolitan Academy of Music severed its links with the London Academy of Music in 1907.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32"><sup>32</sup></a>) In due course the Hampstead Academy was also amalgamated. The name was changed to the current name in 1935, under the direction of Wilfrid Foulis. In 1939, it was moved from London due to the war; when it reopened in 1945, it no longer provided musical training.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33"><sup>33</sup></a> However, singing has remained integral to LAMDA's actor training and in 2023 it introduced a new MFA Musical Theatre programme.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34"><sup>34</sup></a> </p><p>LAMDA was previously an associate member of the <a href="/facts/Conservatoire_for_Dance_and_Drama/jbTSx9QD">Conservatoire for Dance and Drama</a>, having joined in 2004, and received funding through the Conservatoire from the <a href="/facts/Office_for_Students/WBkVjDt0">Office for Students</a>.
