St Marys Music Sessions

There are currently no music provisions in the ST.Marys area and we aim to provide accessible music sessions for the residents specifically young people The grant will support mental wellbeing and reduce social isolation, this will be done with an enjoyable activity that has no age limit or accessibility restrictions. Based in St. Marys Community Facility we aim to run a music pr ogramme. This specific area in Dundee is deprived with many creative music activities removed from the school curriculum, many centres and local businesses are still struggling from the effects of the Pandemic. The money from the grant will be specifically be used for tuition costs and Hall let, students attending the sessions will be able to attend for free. St Marys is geographically isolated and currently anyone living in the area has to get two busses to receive any music provisions in the city centre. With local market research we have identified that there is a need in the area. Previously we have ran ‘one off’ music events such as an ‘Introduction to music Instruments’ for children, and ‘Family discos’ that included percussion and drumming’. St.Marys would benefit from creative practices for families and young adults. We have identified residents that would attend the sessions and we aim to expand on our sessions and structure.We are offering 2 separate weekly sessions a ‘Guitar Club’ and a ‘Begi nners piano club’. We will provide and upkeep all of the instruments needed, but alsoprovide our own posters and flyers which will be disseminated through local advertising and social media.
