Formed in 2008 after many years of planning, The Music Makers has enjoyed 2 years of sold out highly inspirational summer schools to great acclaim and launched the first "Winter Weekend" in December 2009. The Music Makers seeks to deliver enrichment music courses in a secure environment of mixed ability and ages. We are one of the few Music Schools that welcome absolute beginners, or just children with an interest or spark in music-making. Beginners are enthused by our starter instrumental lessons and fun workshops, and the more advanced musicians will also be challenged. All children will get a chance to perform in our end of week concert to family and friends to showcase their hard work during the week. We have an exceptional team of teaching staff, music assistants, administrators, childcare managers, technicians and backroom staff who are all checked by the Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) and are experienced, and hardworking throughout the year to help deliver and execute the ultimate music experience!
