Wythenshawe Monday & Tuesday Sessions

The new term begins this autumn at Wythenshawe Forum Library Creative Space, with weekly funded band sessions for local young people.

No previous musical experience is needed, instruments are provided and the sessions are completely FREE.

Places are limited, so families interested in joining the Autumn term are encouraged to get in touch.

🎸 Learn an instrument. Join a band. Make some noise.

The sessions are about much more than learning an instrument. They provide a safe, welcoming and creative space where young people can meet others, express themselves, develop confidence and experience the sense of achievement that comes from creating and performing music together.

We are incredibly grateful to Manchester City Council and the Your Neighbourhood Fund for continuing to support the project for another year and recognising the importance of keeping opportunities like this free and accessible to young people in Wythenshawe.

Old Trafford Saturday Sessions

Every Saturday, we collaborate with the We Will Rock You Project to host an exciting day of band sessions, running in one-hour blocks from 11 am to 4 pm. Each session features small, focused groups of up to six participants.

These sessions give young people the opportunity to join a band, explore a variety of popular instruments—including electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals—and work on a set list of songs throughout the term. With performance opportunities along the way, participants grow as musicians, develop teamwork skills, and naturally gravitate toward their preferred instruments and roles within the band.

Interested in joining one of our Saturday groups? Get in touch to register your interest, and we’ll contact you as soon as we have a funded space available!

Schools

  • The music sessions at Peel Hall Primary Academy are a highlight for the children. Each week the pupils look forward to their lessons and engage with such enthusiasm. It’s wonderful to see their excitement as they explore new sounds and skills. Parents have also shared how much their children talk about and enjoy these lessons at home. These sessions are not just teaching music - they’re inspiring creativity, confidence and a love of learning throughout the school.
