COMMUNITY CLUBS
Inclusive Rock School
Our inclusive rock school is tailored for those with learning disabilities aged 11-16. Participants work with our experienced tutors to learn how to play instruments, make music with others, and develop their musical skills in a relaxed and fun environment. The aim is to work towards performing at music venues and theatres across York. We have had a fantastic track record of enabling your people with a learning disability to develop their musicianship all whilst having a ton of fun!
Sessions are weekly on a Monday at 3:30 - 5pm in our music rooms located at the Tang Hall Explore Library. Sessions are free!
Blues Club
Our blues club is a great opportunity for those who have a love for the blues but also those who can play an instrument but wish to build their confidence by playing with others in a relaxed and fun environment. The club is run by our blues experts Graham and Colin, who will help you to learn to play blues music stylistically with others with a view of performing as a band in future. Sessions involve playing covers, writing original songs and developing musical skills. Sessions run from 6:45 - 8pm on a Monday.
Flourish Choir
This is a fully inclusive choir that loves to sing a range of well known or popular songs in a relaxed setting. No prior singing or musical experience is needed, just come along, sing and have fun!
We run this to help people in the local community come together to enjoy a good sing in a relaxed and friendly setting. Sessions are dementia friendly.
Sessions cost £3 and are located at the Tang Hall Explore Library in the hall on a Monday from 11:00 - 12:00.
