Playing music together in a group is what really brings music alive for a lot of budding young musicians. For many that valuable experience takes place in one of our three vibrant Music Centres.
Here at Manygates Music Centre we strive to enjoy our music making in a happy friendly and cooperative environment. The Music Centre is proud to run a variety of musical groups of different standards hoping that there is something for everyone!

We rehearse every Wednesday evening in term time between 5.00pm and 8.30pm and hold several concerts each year. The great pleasure of performing music with others is our shared aim!
The cost of attending Music Centre and WMS Ensembles is only £61 per term and we always look forward to welcoming new young musicians! Please come and visit us at any time or take part in a free taster session. Please see below a current list of groups and times.
