Start the Music Launch - Tuesday 28th April

St. Aidan’s Music Association (SAMA) are thrilled to announce the launch of this year’s Start The Music scheme which takes place on Tuesday 28th April at 7pm in the Main Hall at St. Aidan’s.

This is the eighth year of the initiative, which gives all students — including those currently in Year 6 due to join us in September — the opportunity to apply to learn an instrument free of charge for a year. Successful applicants will also have use of an instrument free of charge for the year.

The launch event will feature the Junior Band, along with a Q&A session with successful applicants from this year’s cohort. There will also be a performance and conversation with the University of York Big Band, featuring former St Aidan’s pupil Callum Askew. It’s fantastic to see the musical journeys students continue after leaving school.

Everyone is welcome to attend the launch - including current Year 6 students who will be starting at St Aidan’s in September - to hear more about the scheme and what it offers.

SAMA would also warmly welcome any friends or family who may be interested in sponsoring the Start The Music scheme to get in touch with the Music Department or SAMA for more information. You can do this by emailing via admjn@staidans.co.uk
