Band Connect
Introducing Band Connect, an after-school provision for children & young people who want to learn the basics on keyboard, drums, guitar, and bass. If your child loves music and has always wanted to learn to play a band instrument, this is the perfect opportunity for them!
We have expanded Band Connect with a session specially designed for secondary school pupils.
We offer a FREE trial session for all ensembles, so if you're interested in just getting an idea of what rehearsals are like, email rebecca.hart@nottinghammusichub.org.uk to set a trial up.
Who It's For:
Secondary Group (Monday Sessions):
Tailored for Year Groups 7 and above (ages 11-15). All abilities are welcome. Participants do not need to have any prior experience or learning on these instruments, however experienced musicians are very welcome!
Primary Group (Friday Sessions):
Tailored for Year Groups 4-7 (ages 8-11). All abilities welcome. Participants do not need to have any prior experience or learning on these instruments, however, experienced musicians are very welcome.
