CSMC will be closed on Saturday, 24th and 31st October for our half-term break. We return on Saturday, 7th November for five weeks of lessons and our Christmas Concert which this year is on Saturday, 12th December. 

​

All term dates for the 2026/27 academic year can be found here or by clicking on Where & When in the menu.​​

 

​​​​​​​​​​​​If you are a student of CSMC, please give some thought to joining one of our Groups. 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.  Currently, our Group lessons are:​
 

• Rock Group                 9:40 for 40 mins

• Junior Music Group    9:50 for 30 mins

• 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

​​

And the best bit is that they're free if you already have an individual lesson.

​​

​​The 2026 CSMC Summer Concert was held on Saturday, 11th July and was an outstanding success. It's such a pleasure to watch our students perform and see the joy they derive from playing in front of a live audience. Thanks to everyone who came.

There are a number of pictures of the event here or by selecting Gallery from the menu at the top of any screen.​

 

Our timetable is pretty full right now, so apologies to those of you still on our waiting lists. The one instrument where we do have reasonable space still is cello - so if you know of anyone keen to learn that beautiful-sounding instrument, then please do put them in touch with us! There is also one very last space available for guitar. If you would like to join our growing numbers, please email us on info@chiswicksaturdaymusic.org.uk, or to request a trial lesson, please complete the form to be found 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, 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 as volunteers to help out and 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 term, we had been helped a great deal by a Duke of Edinburgh volunteer. This worked really well - and so please do let know if anyone on a DofE scheme would like to volunteer with us; we are always very grateful for the extra help on Saturdays.
