Happy New Year to all our students, parents, teachers, and volunteers!

 

CSMC starts back after the Festive period on Saturday, 10th January 2026.

 

As we have no concert at the end of this term prior to Easter, so the spring term runs for 10 weeks rather than 11. Term dates are:

 ​

   First Half Term          - 10th Jan 2026

   Half Term Break       - 14th Feb for one week only

   Second Half Term    - 21st Feb to 21st Mar 2026​

​

The full list of term dates for the 2025 / 2026 academic year can be found under 'Where & When' on the menu above or by clicking here. ​​​

​

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, 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.

​

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. Please get in touch if you would like to join one of our groups – they’re free if you also have an individual lesson.  Currently we run:​
 

• Rock Group:                9:40 for 40 mins

• Junior Music Group    9:50 for 30 mins

• Joe’s Rock Group:     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

​

Over the next couple of weeks you will start to get some fee requests from Naheed - as ever, it makes her task so much easier with prompt payments. But also, please do get in touch if you need to arrange a payment plan. We are keeping our prices the same as last year, which we hope will be welcome news for you all.

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 a bunch of great photos from our 2025 Christmas Concert summer concert on our website for you to enjoy. Just click gallery, or navigate here: https://www.chiswicksaturdaymusic.com/gallery​​​​
