For parents
Music for all
Playing, creating, and learning music is the perfect way for young people to develop new skills, make friends and gain a lifelong passion. Whether your children are budding rock stars, classical music fans or just fancy playing an instrument for the first time, there’s so much choice in your local area. Activities include learning to sing, music lessons and seeing live performances.
Groups, bands and choirs
Our groups, bands and choirs are an ideal opportunity for your child to experience playing and performing with others. Try our Saturday group sessions, which run across Oxfordshire at music centres in:
● Thame
● Witney
● Bicester
● Oxford City
● Didcot
● Blackbird Leys
They can also join county orchestras, bands and get involved with Soundabout, our inclusive choir. If you have little ones, then why not get them interested in music from an early age with our Stringbabies programme.
Music lessons
If your child wants to start weekly music lessons, they can learn in school or at the Centre for Music. Find out more about instrumental or vocal lessons for your child.
Music in schools
Learning in school with friends is fun and your child’s confidence can get a real boost. Teachers travel from school to school each weekday, delivering music lessons. All our experienced music teachers are DBS checked and are passionate about helping children and young people to develop their love of music.
Homeschool your child? No problem. We can help you introduce your child to music.
Hire an instrument
Buying a musical instrument can be a big investment, so we have a wide selection of instruments available for hire. Charges are kept to a minimum, and hire is free for families in receipt of certain benefits.
