Medway Towns Music Centre

Medway Towns Music Centre offers inspiration for all ages and is a regional music centre run by Kent Music. With over 250 members attending on a weekly basis we are justly proud of being the largest music centre in Kent and Medway.

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.

As well as instrumental tuition being available we offer 26 different ensembles. For most people, music has its greatest impact when played with others so don’t delay – join us today! It is never too late to start your ‘musical journey’.
