BRITISH SUZUKI MUSIC ASSOCIATION CIO

The main focus of the BSMA is on teacher training. It promotes the Suzuki approach by providing information to the public and the media and support to its members. Repertoire and publications are available from the BSMA Shop. Events are held around the country, including concerts, workshops and conferences. Funds and donations provide scholarships for teacher training.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
