The Chiltern Music Academy aims to put the play into playing and the passion into performance. An independent centre of vibrant community music making, our passion is the nurture and support of the developing musician in every child.
Come and join in, and let your music out!
And they’re off!
CMA is up and running again, with COVID-safe activities on Fridays, Saturdays and Tuesdays. Looking ahead, we hope for even more in September, so join us for some play, passion and performance!
