The City of Edinburgh Music School (TCoEMS) is a state-maintained

high school

. It acquired new premises in 2009 when a new section was added to Flora Stevenson Primary School and a new building was constructed for Broughton High School. Unlike some standalone music schools, pupils attend comprehensive schools for the majority of their academic classes.

The school became an 'All-Steinway School' in 2009, meaning that every piano within the school is of the

Steinway brand. It was awarded a plaque in commemoration of this from Steinway & Sons on 21 July 2009.^[1]

In 2018, the council attempted to shut the school down in order to use the funding elsewhere, however, due to uproar in the community from the parents and politicians, the school succeeded in remaining open.

The school was the subject of BBC Scotland's EX:S documentary, The Music School, on 29 March 2005.

Notable alumni

Martyn Bennett, bagpiper
Helen Grime, composer^[2]
Tommy Smith (saxophonist)
Morgan Szymanski, guitarist
