Parent Portal

We recognise that parental support for a child / young adult learning an instrument is absolutely crucial to their progress and development as musicians. We also appreciate that for many parents this can be a challenge, especially if they didn't play an instrument when they were young.

With both these things in mind, we have created a PARENT PORTAL - a place where you can get advice on how to help and support your child, access resources and get support for yourself too when you need it.

This area of the website is currently being populated with content - feel free to browse but apologies for any (still) missing bits.

The students at SaMM are surrounded by a rich and positive musical environment in which they obviously thrive. Every time I have worked with the students there, taking various workshops for all levels and ages, I have been struck by the engagement of each and every student, their passion and creativity coupled with a with willingness to learn and participate, as well as the inclusive atmosphere. I always look forward to these exciting mornings full of musical discovery.

From my own observations, having worked in music and music education for 40 years, it seems clear that music is a powerful thing. On one level it's something that can provide distraction, comfort and amusement. We use music in this way every day, both consciously and unconsciously. But at a deeper level music is something that changes lives and empowers us.
