Welcome to Gravesham Music Centre!

Gravesham Music Centre (GMC) is an inspiring local music hub based in the heart of the community and designed with musicians in mind.

We offer a range of lessons and ensembles for musicians of all ages, backgrounds and interests.

It’s the best place to connect with the local music community, providing access to fantastic music education outside of school hours and regardless of the availability of lessons and groups in schools.

We look forward to welcoming you to the centre!

First half term is free for new students!

If you join the Centre as a new member in the first half of Autumn, Spring or Summer term, you can enjoy completely free sessions until that half term break. Find out more in our Terms & Conditions.

Learning to play an instrument or sing is incredibly rewarding, giving a sense of achievement, and is a skill you will have for life.

We have immediate availability for new flute, oboe, recorder, bassoon, clarinet and saxophone students. We are also expanding our offer to include brass instruments and singing lessons, so you can apply now for those offers to be first on our waiting list. If we aren’t currently teaching the instrument or vocal lesson that you’re interested in, please let us know via the ‘Make an Enquiry’ button below. We may be able to source a teacher for you!

Joining a local music ensemble like an orchestra, choir or band can enhance this playing, giving you the opportunity to meet like-minded people, learn new skills, and become a confident player.

Ensembles are always enjoyable, and often there is the opportunity to join in with performances and showcase your talents.
