Instrumental Teaching Rooms

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 are:

• One-off booking £7.00

• Weekly booking - one month £25.00

• Weekly booking - one term £50.00

• Instrumental teaching rooms - one term £10.00

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).

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.

For further information, or to book any of these rooms, please contact Lisa Wakfer, Centre Administrator, on 01736 352152 (after 1pm weekdays or leave a message on the answerphone).
