Stave Academy

22/03/2025

We're very proud and excited to announce that Your Music School has teamed up with Stave Academy, a brand new Saturday School focusing on Songwriting, Production, Music Performance, Live Sound and Live Event management.

The aim of Stave Academy is to take the skills and knowledge that our one to one music teachers have imparted, and add practical value to them in the form of creating bands, group workshops, vocal choirs, recording and producing their own albums and putting on live concerts to showcase our students' hard work and talent.

Stave Academy is run by professional working session musicians, recording artists, songwriters and composers and is meticulously devised to bring the creativity out of young musicians and artists, while giving them a platform to express themselves effectively and professionally.

The sessions will take place every Saturday at Your Music School, starting from Saturday 26th April. They will be taking students of all musical abilities from age 9 upwards, but there will be limited spaces so please get in contact as soon as possible.

You can find more information and sign up at www.staveacademy.co.uk or email [email protected]
