LMS offers an exciting variety of musical activities designed to complement and enrich the string education
of our Lochaber youngsters. Our weekly centre, staffed by 10 highly qualified and experienced
tutors, takes place every Tuesday in term time - from 4.00 pm to 6.30 pm at the Camaghael Hostel, situated
opposite the new Health Centre, adjacent to Lochaber High School.

LMS proudly caters for all abilities and ages, offering weekly solo, ensemble and orchestral experience,
supported by classes in musicianship, theory, aurals, improvisation, singing and traditional music - and even
handbell ringing! There are also opportunities to have lessons on piano and clarsach, and in those cases
where the instrument is not offered at the pupil’s school, on woodwind too.

LMS is a charitable foundation, generously supported by grants from the Highland Council, the Scottish Arts
Council (YMI), Foyle Foundation and others. However, to help balance our books, we do need to make a
small charge to pupils, the equivalent of Ł3.00 per full Tuesday session. Sound Start pupils and Choir
members contribute Ł1 per session. Bursary funding is available in some cases.
LMS always welcomes new faces! Please inform your string teacher if you would like to come to one
or two sessions in order to try out the LMS activities! Alternatively, parents may like to ring Musical
Director, Peter Rose. He will be only too pleased to offer further information and help.
