Learn an instrument

 
 

We coach rock band instruments to children and young people from as young as age 5. Children are encouraged to support each other in our unique group class settings for all instruments apart from drums (we’re working on this right now!), providing an environment for them to improve their confidence, learn with and from their peers and develop to the best of their abilities, at their own pace. Most go on to join bands and/or accompany our vocalists in showcases, gigs and performances out in the community.

Songwriting

 
 

We encourage children of all ages to tell their stories through music.

Our young people start writing from as young as age 5, coming to this activity for a variety of reasons; from a desire to explore their artistry, to simply getting the thoughts out of their heads.

All see benefits far beyond simply writing songs with reports of improved wellbeing and mental health, alongside a greater sense of belonging through the community of young people who embrace this activity together.

Classes for ages 5-14 take place on Saturdays, then on Thursdays for ages 14+. Complete the form below to register for your child/young persons free trial session:
