It was brilliant for me to learn music at SaMM (SaMS in my day!).
So many young people learn musical instruments on their own and don’t get to play together - which is where so much of the joy of music making lies. This Saturday music school has groups for all ages, from grade 1 - grade 8 and has ensembles across many genres meaning there really is a group for everyone.
Joining others to play music develops your listening and rhythmic skills and helps young people to bring their playing up to the next level. It’s a fun and enjoyable way to develop as a musician and make friends.
Please support this wonderful organisation in bringing young people together to make music.
