Why get involved?
Play Well-known tunes

Performance Opportunities
By playing in an ensemble you have the opportunity to take part in concerts and events throughout the year, earning vital performance experience.
Making Music with Others
Making music is a fun and sociable activity. Joining a Music Centre activity gives you the chance to meet, play and perform with other like-minded musicians.
Virtual Music Centre
As part of your membership you can take part in our online activities under the Virtual Music Centre. This includes Beginner, Intermediate and Grade V Theory.
Apply for Chamber Groups
Once your application has been submitted, you will be emailed regarding course dates and fees provided there is space in the ensemble. If there is not space for a new member to join straight away, the student will be placed on a waiting list. When a space is available, a member of the Create Music team will be in touch with all the relevant details you need.
