What we do
SaMM is a Saturday Morning Music School based in Totnes, Devon, UK. We meet every Saturday during term time in the Ariel Centre at KEVICC,
We aim to help children learn and improve musicianship whilst also learning that music is a fun and rewarding social activity and not just a “hard effort” practising alone at home.
We are an inclusive organisation and offer children of all ages and musical abilities – from 4 to 18 and from complete beginner to virtuoso – the opportunity to enjoy making music with others in a wide variety of ensemble workshops.

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that this term has 12 Saturdays, which means that you are all getting 2 free Saturdays this term!
One of those, on the weekend of the 24th/25th November, is with Torbay Symphony who will be holding a weekend festival focusing on the Romantic Era (at the Ariel Centre), and on the Saturday, (24th) all SaMM students will be able to take part in one way or another. Veronika Shoot, a wonderful pianist, will be giving a recital and working with the younger children. We will have with us some amazing soloists (Veronika Shoot and Irina Lakhovskaya on piano and soprano Catherine Hamilton) as well as masterclasses, open rehearsals and talks.
All under 18's get FREE entrance to all the events, including the concerts. This is a great opportunity for your child to experience a symphony orchestra live so put this date in your diaries!
