Parents are invited to watch their child’s classes at Open Days. This is a great way to see the journey your child takes with us each week at JASSPA as well as catch up with progress in one to one lessons.

Open Days:

1:1 MUSIC LESSONS - on the last Saturday of each term.

ENSEMBLES & CHOIRS - on the last Saturday of each term unless the ensemble/choir is performing in a concert the same day.

Please note: Theory does not have Open Days. Instead pupils take exams in June.

Jasspa hosts music exams 3 times a year.
