Sign up for FREE Music Lessons at our Learn to Play event this October

We are thrilled to announce that they will be hosting a UK charity Music for All - Learn to Play 24 event on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October between 10am and 4pm. We are offering young musicians from across all of Sheffield and South Yorkshire the chance to join us for FREE music lessons and "Give it a Go" sessions on a variety of instruments.

Those interested in joining us for a FREE music lesson simply need to sign up via the form called FREE Lessons Weekend here. If you'd just like to try a variety of instruments rather than booking a taster lesson then just turn up on the day. Sheffield Music Hub will then take care of the rest, you just need to turn up excited to play!

Music for All aims to inspire, encourage and enable both new and lapsed music makers to enjoy the wide breadth of benefits of making music. It connects and champions UK music providers such as community groups, retail music shops and music teachers through shared celebration.

Sheffield Music Hub is excited to participate and help spread the joy of music throughout the whole of South Yorkshire!

Ian Naylor, Head of Music Education Sheffield said: “The past few years have shown how important music is to all our lives and how it can bring people together even in the most difficult of circumstances. We aim to help as many young people as possible understand the unique joys and benefits of learning an instrument. We believe that every child, regardless of race; gender; where they live; their levels of musical talent; parental income; whether they have special educational needs or disabilities; and whether they are looked-after children; deserve the very best music education.  Being a part of Music for All’s Learn to Play ’24 event will help us to give as many children as possible the chance to get involved.”

Sought-after drummer, composer, music director and Ambassador for Music for All, Emanuel J Burton explains why he supports the events: ‘Creatively expressing myself means so much to me and I couldn’t imagine a life without the ability to do so. Experiencing opportunities to make music are a blessing and that is why Learn to Play experiences offered by Music for All in venues across the weekend are so impactful. Music is a big part of experiencing bliss and is a big way to bring us all together as one.’ 

Music for All believes everyone should have equal access to music making and supports disadvantaged individuals, educators and community projects through cash and instrument award rounds throughout each year. The Learn to Play ’24 event is generously supported by the NAMM Foundation. 

Other Learn to Play ‘24 partners include Music Industries Association, Black Lives in Music, Make Music Day UK, Music Mark, Making Music and Take it Away.
