John Stillman, jazz teacher, is also coming to 11a with some of his pupils this term, and we are now an official ABRSM Exam Centre for Gloucester.   These things are all major steps in our aim to widen the use of our building and broaden the base of what is on offer at 11a Westgate st.

New for next year: Adult String Orchestra Course at Easter for Grades 1-5 running for the same dates as the Adult Chamber Course which will be for Grades 6 and upwards.

2012 - 30th Anniversary of our founding.

In 2012 we celebrate 30 years since our organisation was founded as Beauchamp Music Group, at Churcham. In honour of this, and in view of the present financial climate, we have decided to hold our existing Term-time session and Holiday Course fees at the same prices as for 2011. HOWEVER, we continue to need lots of support for our fund raising events throughout the coming year. Please watch out for news of coming events.
