The Malta Society of Arts (MSA) has just launched its new schedule of courses to start in February, with classes taking place at its seat, Palazzo de La Salle in Valletta. The schedule includes around 20 courses in visual arts, crafts and performing arts, aimed at students of all ages and levels of knowledge. Lessons start at the beginning of February, and continue until the beginning of May, consisting of around 12 lessons for each course.

In the visual arts category, students can join classes in Nude Human Figure, Preparation for an O’ Level in Art, Art for Kids, Art for Leisure for Adults, Art for Leisure for Mature Students, and Clay Modelling, among others. For those interested in learning a craft, there are courses in Lace-Making, Crochet, Knitting, Dressmaking, Tailoring and Sewing for Beginners. The performing arts section offers lessons in Pianoforte, Guitar (electric, acoustic, classic), as well as in Violin. For this term, the MSA is introducing a new music course that has never been offered before, the Violoncello, offering the possibility to study this fascinating instrument to both beginners and more advanced students.

Applications are now open and those interested are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to secure their place.
