• Six free lessons funded by Arts Council England.
• One lesson each week over six weeks.
• Children will learn about different periods in the development of music.
• They will be able to identify composers, instruments, and practices belonging to each era.
• Recommended for 7 - 12 year-olds.
• Each session is 60 minutes.

Let’s take a leap through time as we explore the music of different eras. We'll start right at the beginning, looking at the origins of music and venture through to modern day.

We’ll look at famous composers and musicians during different periods, from the stone age to the medieval plainchants in the 1200’s, and to the instruments used to create Classical masterpieces in the 1700’s. Maybe we’ll check out the Jazz scene emerging out of New Orleans in the 1920’s, or how about discovering the war time classics?

These classes are fun and filled with interesting facts, videos, and games! There is so much to be discovered so climb aboard and let’s see where history takes us.

James Vezer - Tutor

Hi, I'm James and I'll be teaching these classes. I'm a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music with a Masters in Music. I've taught music for a few years now and I try to make the lessons as fun a possible!

Fun Fact - The first lesson I ever taught was at a school in Beijing, China!

Alongside teaching, I'm a session guitarist and have played at music festivals, played on tours, and have done some guitar work for a few TV shows.

Anyway, enough about me...I'm looking forward to meeting you all - see you soon! :)
