We’re thrilled to have Toni at the helm of our parent charity, Sound Waves!!

Exciting news!

Sound Waves is delighted to welcome Dr Toni James as our first Executive Director.

Formerly the pianist of Neave Trio, Toni has been described as one of the finest Scottish pianists of her generation. Alongside an internationally acclaimed performing career, she has also built an outstanding reputation as an educator and arts leader.

At just 29, Toni was appointed Professor at the School of Music and Dance, San Diego State University and more recently, she has been widely recognised for her work in the voluntary arts sector, in leadership roles for organisations including Music in Action, CREATE Paisley, Erskine Arts and Jersey Opera House.

We are thrilled to welcome Toni to Sound Waves as she leads the organisation — including Mendelssohn on Mull Festival and Mull Music Makers — into an exciting new chapter.

Our May ⭐️ Star Pupil was Karen MacKinnon. Karen has recently moved up from the Puffins group to the Otters. She has impressed all of the tutors with her infectious cheeriness and can-do attitude! Our Lead Tutor, Patsy Reid, says "Karen has got to the stage where everything just starts to click and it's such a joy to behold!" Well done Karen and keep up the excellent work 🎻 🎻 🎻

Mull Music Makers supports the WE MAKE MUSIC MANIFESTO. Our project was set up to help young people access more music-making opportunities where they live. Funding our vital work is getting increasingly difficult. Our friends at Tinderbox Collective have made this short film to highlight the importance of community music projects like ours in an ever challenging financial climate.

So impressed and proud of everyone this weekend. Some played their fiddles all day, including at break times. Others learnt how to knit with Eug at break. With the older ones away revising, it seemed like a good opportunity for the groups below to move up a part. Was a joy to watch them relishing the challenge and making so much progress!
