At TML we’re all about creativity, collaboration and supporting the aspirations of young musicians of all kinds in the area. From jazz players to beatboxers, garage bands to classical singers, the Lab is a totally inclusive space where we’ll help you achieve what you want to do with your music.
This new Music Lab will focus on developing your creativity and experimentation with singing and instrumental skills, jamming in the band room and playing together. You’ll also dabble with music tech and explore a range of skills to help you become a fully rounded young musician.
The Thanet Music Lab is a freeform environment where young people are encouraged to come to us with their own goals and ideas. Our aim is to help you express yourselves with music in the best possible environment and have fun doing it!
Along with developing your skills, we offer opportunities throughout the year to perform and play your own music. Even better, you’ll connect and network with like-minded Lab members from your community throughout the sessions.
No matter what your style, ability or interest, we will make every effort to provide for you. If we don’t have what you want, tell us and we will provide it.
The Lab is stocked with loads of kit to help you, so whether you’re using your own instrument or kit or just exploring options we can support you. We also have access to some kit onsite, but if there’s something specific which you’re after, let us know!
The Music Lab is committed to Youth Voice, and we want our members to have a big say in how it develops and what it does each week.
All sessions are supported by a professional tutor and pastoral staff who are passionate about music and helping young musicians develop their skills.
Off Westwood Road Broadstairs, the school is clealy visible from the road and has extensive car parking on site which is available for use by Music Centre staff and members from 5.00pm.
Once parked on site follow signs to the ‘Community Entrance’ to gain access to the building from 5.00pm onwards.
