This course is for young instrumentalists who are just starting out.
If you’ve taken part in whole-class instrumental lessons at primary school, or have been learning for a short time and haven’t yet played in an ensemble, Music Explorers is a great place to begin.


You’ll play as part of a multi-instrument ensemble, making music with others of a similar age and experience. Along the way, you’ll build confidence and develop listening and teamwork skills through shared music-making.
The course ends with a relaxed concert for family and friends. This is a 2 day residential course.
Music Explorers can be a starting point for other courses including Summer Strings, Wind Band, Piano, Symphony Orchestra or Jazz.
Please contact kmss@kent-music.com when you make your application if you would like to hire an instrument for this course.
All staff working with children and young people hold a current enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and take part in regular safeguarding and child protection training.
