Whether your child is working through the early books or progressing into the later repertoire, there is a workshop suited to where they are. Both are held at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

The workshop is open to LSG and BSMA members. LSG and BSMA members are welcome to attend, with discounted rates for LSG members.

Each workshop is a half-day. Children have an individual lesson, take part in a group lesson, and perform in a short concert at the end. A parents' talk runs alongside — a good opportunity to ask questions.

Places are limited and the workshop tends to fill up quickly.
