As well as offering instrumental tuition to over three thousand pupils in the district we are committed to providing the highest quality training for teachers and assistants led by experienced and dynamic trainers.
Workshops
We run exciting and practical music workshops for both primary and secondary pupils on a wide range of topics including Junk percussion, African drumming, Samba, Rhythm and Rhyme, China, Nursery Rhymes, Music and Art, Aboriginal Music, Space and many more. These workshops are held in school for a half or full day depending on school requirements.
We are also happy to design a workshop to fit just about any topic!
If any course or workshop is held at Manygates Music Centre, room hire and refreshments are added to the fee.
