Thank you to the many who have already paid their fees for the new term; prompt payment makes it so much easier for us volunteers to manage.​

​​​​A key part of everyone’s musical learning is playing music with others. It’s fabulous fun and a great way to grow as a musician. This term we are making a change to our music groups. Due to changes in our student base, we are replacing one of our two rock groups with a new piano club at 10:20. Please get in touch if you would like to join this or any of our groups – they’re free if you also have an individual lesson.  They are:​
 

• Rock Group                 9:40 for 40 mins

• Junior Music Group    9:50 for 30 mins

• Piano Club                  10:20 for 40 mins

• Jazz Rock                    10:20 for 40 mins

• Guitar Group               11:15 for 30 mins

• Violin Ensemble          11:15 for 30 mins

• Woodwind Group       11:15 for 40 min

​

Chiswick School are offering spaces for us for music exams as follows:

• ABRSM exam day: 1 July

• Trinity (classical) exam day: 2 July

Do speak to your teacher if these are of interest - and of course, there are still the public exam options for both of those, as well as other exam boards.

​

As always we need your help getting the word out about us - to your schools, friends and neighbours! We have flyers - both printed and as an email attachment - if you would like some help with this. As a reminder, we offer all of the following: violin, viola, piano, drums, guitar (classical/jazz/bass/electric), ukulele, recorder, flute, clarinet, saxophone, cello, music theory, singing. We also cater for adults as well as children. 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.

We're also on the lookout for helpers to join us volunteers to spread the load. As a committee, we're all volunteers helping out alongside our normal day jobs etc. As such, we could do with some extra support! We're particularly interested in the following:

• help with the Finances

• help with Safeguarding

• help on Saturdays, with setup (9 am+), coffee break (11 am) and closedown (12:45)

 

Last, but not least - there are some great photos from our 2025 Christmas Concert on our website for you to enjoy. Just click gallery, or navigate here: https://www.chiswicksaturdaymusic.com/gallery​​​​
