New beginner music groups for all.

Four new beginner music making groups have been set up by Severn Arts in Bromsgrove, Malvern, Kidderminster and Worcester for youngsters looking to have some fun playing an instrument in a group.

The Lift Off! music groups are informal, fun and FREE. They are open to all young people interested in playing a musical instrument, from beginner up to grade 1 standard. No musical experience is needed, everyone just needs to come with the instrument they would like to play.

Debbie Fawcett, Severn Arts Director of Learning said: “We’ve set up these groups because we want to give as many children as possible in Worcestershire the opportunity to take part in group music-making activities whatever their ability. We really hope that young people from across the county will come along and give the groups a try, especially as they are free and there’s absolutely no obligation to come every week. Coming together to make music in a group is a wonderful experience and such a great way for children to learn new skills and make new friends.”
