Young people who join will have the opportunity to play a range of instruments either as beginners or as experienced players. The experience focuses on enjoyment and learning through creating music. At each session music teachers and experienced musicians are there to help beginners learn from scratch and to give more experienced musicians the opportunity to develop and to play with others.

Each session will have an exciting theme from speakers in the profession, to workshops on specific kinds of music, to visits to other similar projects.
