Play and grow your musical skills together
Medway Music Explorers is a fun group for primary school aged children to learn how to play music together as an ensemble. Sessions explore rhythm, listening, notation and creativity through singing and a range of instruments including percussion, keyboards, ukulele and recorder. Young musicians build confidence, teamwork and find out what they enjoy most about making music together.

This group supports young musicians to progress into whatever interests them most. Whether they are keen on bands, orchestras, choirs or any of our other Music Centre groups, it’s a great foundation for their musical journey.
