String Saturdays at SAYM

Come along to one of our Saturday morning string groups and join in the music making. There are no tests or auditions; but you do need to be able to read music for your instrument. If you are not sure come and join in a session as a ‘taster’ and we can advise the best group for you.  For more information read on and then contact Anna in the SAYM ‘office’ –  admin@saym.org.uk

Players may also wish to join the Childrens Choir at 09:00 or Youth Choir at 11:00 all included in the SAYM fees to enjoy a morning of music making!
