Having the opportunity to make music together is a wonderful experience for children, which is why we are continuing our outside of school Lift Off! music groups in Bromsgrove, Kidderminster, Malvern and Worcester.
The groups will be informal, fun and FREE, providing an opportunity for school aged children from beginner up to grade 1 standard to come along and have a go at creating music with others. No musical experience is needed to take part.

Sessions are weekly from 12 September, excluding half term. Children (and parents/carers) can take part in as many sessions as they like and can either sign up beforehand or sign up on the day. Each session will be for 45 minutes.
