Medway Towns Music 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:

Piano and keyboard
Violin
Guitar (acoustic, classical, electrical, bass)
Woodwind, including: Clarinet, Saxophone, Flute and Recorder

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.

Many of our ensembles may be suitable for children from 6 years old. Please note that, if your child is under the age of 11 years old, a parent or carer will be required to stay throughout the time that your child is at the centre.
