Coming September 2020.....a fantastic new music programme for Stratford upon Avon youngsters aged 11-18......do you know of anyone who could benefit from a music programme for kids, that might not otherwise have the opportunity to pick up a guitar, bass, drum sticks, mic or play keys, or learn about songwriting and music production? Or might not have the chance to join a band without a little help?! Maybe somebody who would benefit massively from the positive mental health impact and self-esteem that playing music and being part of a band brings? If so we want to hear about these budding future rock stars! Please get in touch with Clare Thomas on 07711 372538 or [email protected] or DM
