Learning & Participation

Band on the Wall’s Learning and Participation Programme offers a range of inspiring, interesting and challenging opportunities for non-formal, hands-on learning. We feel we have musical activities for everyone that include and value all participants regardless of age, experience and ability. 

Some of our programmes are aimed at experienced music makers, some are open to everyone. All will be inspiring, supportive and give opportunities to perform and practice in Manchester’s best live music venue.

Take a look at the courses we are offering at the moment; most will be supported by online resources and recordings of key sessions and performances. Tutors are all experienced leaders in their field and we already have a list of exciting visiting guest artists to lead some sessions. 

For those Manchester residents who are currently workless, on invalidity benefit, lone parents or carers courses are free or reduced - please contact us for details.
