- Offering opportunities for young musicians to perform in public arranging concerts by established performers providing a platform for local schools and musical organisations. In an area lacking appropriate community venues, MASJ actively encourages the use of St John’s Church (which has wheelchair access) for events.
- MASJ also engages with local schools and with Dacorum Music School to educate young people and encourage their knowledge and love of music.
- Our UniSong events provide school children with a relaxed day of singing, and the UniSound events allow children from local schools to play a variety of instruments, in both cases ending with an informal concert for families and friends.
- The WOOFYT, a simple functioning organ made of wood, valves, pipes and a pump, has visited St John’s Church regularly to demonstrate the science behind an organ to children from local schools.
