Each group has a designated tutor who will be responsible for taking participants through various musical learning and rehearsal. Our experienced tutors are skilled at facilitating group learning; they all have exciting ideas for music-making and the exploration of new repertoire.
Beginner groups are aimed at those with no prior experience of learning a musical instrument before. Learning to read music will be part of the tuition. These groups are open to new MMC members and subject to sufficient numbers enrolling. New groups start in September. Some instruments may be available to borrow free of charge - do ask us by email or at our front desk on a Saturday morning if you are interested.
