Progression
The Library Classes (in light orange) are where most students will begin their journey with CMA.
After at least a term in the Library Classes, students can progress to our CMA Saturday Centre (in blue).
Once students progress through the Saturday Centre classes, they will be ready to join the Tuesday Centre or Friday Centre (in red) which is for more experienced, generally secondary school aged students.
Star Awards
As a member of CMA Centres you can take a Star Award. There are different levels to fit your development and it helps to show your progress.
Grade 5 Theory
We also run a one year course for those wishing to take the ABRSM Grade 5 Theory exam.
