Free music open days this October with Inspiring Music

Wednesday, 2 October 2024

Inspiring Music is hosting a series of free open days this October, inviting young people to explore the world of music at its three music hubs in Ampthill, Biggleswade, and Leighton Buzzard.

The open days are running on Saturday 12 October from 9:30am and are designed to encourage children over 6 years old to try out a variety of instruments, with some sessions also open to older children and adults who already play an instrument.

Sessions include beginner ukulele, steel pans for beginners, ‘musical superstars’ for complete beginners, teaching people how to play as part of an ensemble, a folk group session and Inspiring Singers, to help people develop their singing voices.

Learners will be supported with expert guidance from Inspiring Music’s team of talented music tutors.

Councillor Steve Owen, our Executive Member for Children’s Services, said:

Learning to play music is a vital skill for young people, offering not only a creative outlet but also boosting confidence, teamwork, and discipline. Music has the power to inspire, and these open days are the perfect opportunity for young people to experience that first-hand.

Booking is required, but the sessions are free. To book, visit the link for the location you'd like to attend.
