Southend Academy of Music (SAM)

SAM, or Southend Academy of Music, is Music on Sea’ largest ensemble and an opportunity for young people to learn a new instrument as part of a big band! At SAM, we have Music on Sea staff who specialise in strings, woodwind, brass, keyboards, guitar, drums and more! You can hire an instrument from Music on Sea’s instrument hire scheme and get playing right away, taking part in group learning sessions with players of all abilities.

The cost of membership is £30 per term (10 sessions) but financial assistance is available to those eligible. To book sessions for your child, please use the following link to register: https://www.southend.gov.uk/xfp/form/34
