Make better music for less this year

Did your child get a new musical instrument for Christmas? Are they driving you up the wall playing the same few notes over and over again? If so Leeds City Council’s music centres could be the answer.

The new year is a great time to enrol for music lessons at one of the council’s nine music centres, where quality lessons in a fun environment cost just £3.50 for half an hour.

The centres have expert teachers in all instruments and styles of music and singing, including rock bands and orchestras.

And it’s not just for children. If you’ve made a new year’s resolution to learn a new instrument or rediscover an old one, there are lessons for adults as well. One centre’s oldest student is a beginner guitarist in their 90s, so age is no excuse.

Not only that, but under 5s can enjoy a fun music group for younger children at the same time.

So brighten up the January gloom on Saturday by getting along to your local music centre.

Full details of all classes can be found at www.artformsleeds.co.uk/musiccentres.
