Group beginner lessons at MMC From September 2025 we are offering group beginner lessons for both adults and children in recorder, orchestral strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass), ukulele, guitar, flute, clarinet, bassoon and saxophone.
I’m interested. Do I need to have studied music before? No - we will go right from the very beginning. Adult and children are taught separately by professional freelance musicians.
What do I do about an instrument? We can help you source an instrument.
How much does it cost? The MMC registration fee is £80 for adults and £40 for under 18s per term, which typically lasts for 10 weeks.
Sounds good. How do I sign up? Register your interest for a start in September. Group beginner lessons are for new members only, or for children who have attended just musicianship classes before. Contact info@maccmusiccentre.co.uk for more details. Once Autumn term registrations are open (mid-to-late August) you can sign up directly on the registration form.
Please note: Lessons will only run if there are sufficient numbers (minimum 3 adults or 4 children). We will confirm at the end of August whether the group will run in September. If there are just a couple of people interested we could run the group from January subject to further interest.
Orchestral strings will learn all together in one group.
If you would rather learn as an individual we can put you in touch with one of our tutors. Individual lessons are a private arrangement between the learner and the tutor and are not included in the MMC registration. You do not need to be an MMC member to access individual tuition.
