Rehearsal rooms
Our rehearsal spaces are available evenings
up to 9.45pm, as well as at weekends and during school
holidays. We have an on-site caretaking team for security,
and music technicians who can support with advice on
setting up your equipment. All of our practice spaces
are equipped with CD burners for simple recording (and
of course you can also book professional standard recording
through our studio).
The Music Centre has various rehearsal
spaces available out of school hours, to accommodate
large groups, small bands, and one to one teaching or
solo practice. We charge as low a rent as possible to
make these rooms accessible - charges for 2010-11 are
at the bottom of the page.

Instrumental tuition rooms
We have three smaller instrumental tuition
rooms available for use by local music teachers. Each
room has a keyboard, CD recording and playback equipment,
and room for up to four people. The rooms are currently
available at only £10 per term to music teachers,
in exchange for which we would hope to negotiate assisted/free
lessons for students (of any age) not otherwise able
to afford tuition. Prospective teachers will need to show a current enhanced CRB certificate when booking a room through the Centre.
