May Bank Holiday Closures
The school is closed on 4th May for the bank holiday, we will also be closed from the 25th to the 31st May for the half term break.
CIC Board Member Opportunity
We have recently set up a community interest company, ‘Enjoy Making Music’, to run alongside the school. This is something we have been working towards over the last couple of years, and we are really excited to finally have it up and running. The idea is that the CIC can take on more altruistic projects, making use of the facilities, instruments, and tutors that we already have at the school.
We are looking for three board members who do not currently work at the school to bring a variety of inputs into the company, as well as to add new areas of expertise. If this is something you are interested in, please email enjoymakingmusic@outlook.com with a brief summary of why you are interested and what you feel you would add.
Adult Awful Orchestra
The first project from the community interest company is being led by Ciara and will be run in the big room at AS Music School. The orchestra is being set up for people of all abilities and stages of life to play orchestral music in a relaxed setting. There are no auditions or grade requirements.
The first session, which is free to attend, will be held on 23rd May from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Please contact adultawfulorchestra@gmail.com
Student Portal – MyMusicStaff
It has now been over two years since we set up the student portal. This can be used by our students to check, cancel, and rearrange any scheduled lessons, as well as to review their payment status. Please let us know if you would like us to resend your login link. The portal will also show when the school is closed (including Bank Holidays).
Make Up Lessons
This is just a reminder that any make-up credits will reset at the end of the academic year (15th August 2026). Please speak to your tutor if you believe you are owed any make-up lessons, and they can look to arrange these before the deadline. More information can be found here: https://musiclessonssheffield.co.uk/terms-conditions/
Exam Entry Deadlines
Please note that the exam entry deadline for the Summer session is 7th May for all exam boards. Please speak to your tutor ASAP if you are wanting to be entered.
In house exams
We are now offering in house exams at the music school for early grades, or for anyone who wants to try an exam but is feeling a bit nervous. Please ask your tutors for more information.
