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!
Learning to play an instrument or sing is incredibly rewarding, giving a sense of achievement, and is a skill you will have for life.
All Kent Music teachers are passionate, talented and supportive professionals, and look forward to welcoming students of all experience levels and backgrounds.
At this centre, we can currently provide tuition for:
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!
For more information on tuition and prices, please see our Music Lessons page.
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.
