Learn how to play a variety of instruments from across the musical spectrum – for beginners and more experienced players alike. Many courses are run as groups, creating a community of musicians who can learn and collaborate together. They are delivered by highly experienced tutors who are performing musicians, and take place in a welcoming and informal environment. Some are drop-in sessions, others are subscription only and run on a termly or half-termly basis.

Our Approach

Our programmes are built around a simple belief: everyone can make music.

We focus on:

  • Fun first. Music should be enjoyable and inspiring.
  • Learning by doing. Singing, listening, moving and playing together helps build musical confidence.
  • Learning from each other. We encourage participants to share skills and support one another.
  • Making music together. Playing in groups from the start helps people grow as musicians.
  • Great tutors. Our experienced team creates supportive, inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.
