Led by industry professionals, the class provides access to high-quality facilities and collaborative learning tailored to all skill levels—from those just starting out to those building a career in music.

We’re committed to making our youth programme accessible to everyone. As a charity, we receive some funding to deliver our creative programmes – but this doesn’t cover all of our costs. To help us keep our classes affordable and open to as many young people as possible, we've introduced a tiered pricing structure for our termly membership. Here’s how it works: Everyone gets the same great classes, led by professional artists. You choose the price that feels right for your family. If you’re in a position to give a little more, you can opt for the 'Help Us' tier to support the programme’s long-term sustainability. It’s a simple 'Help Us, Help You' approach – you choose what you can afford, and every contribution goes directly into keeping our programme inclusive and high-quality.
