Training Ely Music Centres offer a range of ensemble and orchestral experiences, combined with theory and practical musicianship training, on a weekly basis in term time for players of brass, string, percussion and woodwind instruments. To get the most from the music centres, you are strongly recommended to stay for all activities.
Throughout the term, our team of tutors work with students to explore a variety of repertoire following a theme. The last session of each term culminates in a lively and enjoyable performance for parents and friends.
