How can we help?

We’re here to help you to learn, share and enjoy music-making. You can find out more about what we do and why we do it in the About us  section.

The majority of our activities are for children and young people - but not all of them! Find out more about things we offer for over 18s on our Not a young person? page.

New to Gloucestershire Music? We can help by ...

• providing lessons in school or in our out-of-school hours music centres (some of which also run their own orchestras and bands)
• bringing you together with other people to make music in our county music groups – orchestras, bands, and other groups that rehearse and perform together across the county
• providing an instrument – from bassoons to xylophones, we can  hire instruments to anyone in the County (not just pupils)

... and in various other ways including a summer orchestral course, the Gloucestershire Young Musician competition, and our various services to schools (lessons, concerts, workshops, online music resources, special projects and support for teachers).

Already involved but want to find out more?

You’ll find you can do a lot more on this new website (and there’s more to come in time), including:

• joining or renewing your group or centre membership online (see the buttons bottom right)  
• finding out the latest news and concert dates (see the home page)
• sharing with us and others, your experiences of making music, and what inspires you
  
• telling us about your experiences, or letting us know how we can improve via our feedback form
• if you’re a member of a group or centre, you’ll see each now has it’s own brand new website
• there’s also information for current students, as well as details of some useful sites for musicians
