​Chiswick Saturday Music Centre 2025
 

CSMC opened again for the Summer 2025 term on Saturday, 26th April. The term runs through until our Summer Concert on Saturday, 12th July 2025, with a one week half-term break on Saturday, 31st May.

 

Over the Easter break we said farewell to Annabella, who is moving to take up a new job overseas. So we're delighted to welcome Ethan Townsend onto the teaching team.

​

As you know, Katie Bunney has stood down as a teacher with CSMC to take up a full-time role elsewhere but is continuing to work with us to help raise our profile and much needed funds. Her teaching role at CSMC has been assumed by Anna Jackman Straw who is already successfully working with our woodwind students and woodwind group.

 

Our initial work on fundraising has given us some recent good news. We have had donations from the Mbili Trust and our local Waitrose. We’re still just starting on this whole area and have much to do – but it’s very encouraging to have this early success.

 

We have a limited number of vacancies for lessons in 2025 for violin, woodwind (saxophone, clarinet, flute or recorder) drums and piano. Please do spread the word amongst friends and your school communities! If you are interested in starting or continuing your musical journey then please email us at

 info@chiswicksaturdaymusic.org.uk or click on this link and complete the form to request a trial lesson.

​

Our new group aimed specifically at giving 6-9 year olds a general music foundation in a fun group setting is up and running, but places are still available for aspiring musicians of the future! The new Junior Music Group meets at 9:50 for 30 minutes every week of the CSMC term. It's free if you already have an individual lesson so please come along and try it out - we guarantee you'll love it!​​
 

We’re super keen to promote our groups this term. A key part of everyone’s musical learning should be playing music with others. It’s fabulous fun and a great way to grow as a musician. Please get in touch if you would like to join one – they’re free if you already have a lesson.  Currently we run:​
 

  • Rock Group:                        9:40 for 40 minutes

  • Junior Music Group            9:50 for 30 minutes

  • Joe’s Rock Group:            10:20 for 40 minutes

  • Jazz Rock:                         10:20 for 40 minutes

  • Guitar Group:                    11:15 for 30 minutes

  • Violin Ensemble:               11:15 for 30 minutes

  • Woodwind Group:             11:15 for 40 minutes
     

It’d be great to start up other groups too – Singing Group perhaps?​

Finally, we are always looking for volunteers to help with the running or CSMC. If you could spare a couple of hours on the occasional Saturday morning we would be very grateful. In particular, if anyone’s got an interest in getting involved in how charities work and has a bit of spare time, then please do let us know – it would be great to have your help.
