About The Music Association
St. Aidan’s Music Association (SAMA) is a registered charity set up to support the choral and instrumental work of the school music department which provides fantastic experiences and performance opportunities for all those who take part. Membership of the Association is open to parents and carers of members of the many school music ensembles. The committee meets every term.
We provide valuable help to the music staff at concerts setting up, selling tickets and providing refreshments and stage management. We also help raise vital funds to support the provision of wonderful musical opportunities and activities for our children.
Recent projects our funds have supported include new instruments and equipment, the ’Start the Music’ initiative which supports those who are new to an instrument and encourages existing musicians to take up alternative and rarer instruments.
