Make Music Together!
If you enjoy playing music and would love to share that experience with others, this friendly and relaxed class could be just what you're looking for. We play a wide variety of well-known tunes, traditional favourites, and the occasional hidden gem, all in a supportive and enjoyable atmosphere.
Members should already be able to play their instrument with reasonable confidence, either from written music, or by ear. During sessions, we play both in unison and in harmony, usually as one large ensemble but sometimes in smaller groups. There are also opportunities for individuals or small groups to share a favourite "party piece" with the class if they wish.
Our current mix of instruments includes harmonica, flute, violin, cello, ukulele, bass ukulele, acoustic guitar, alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, trombone, concertina, accordion and recorders (descant, treble, tenor and bass). We welcome other gentle, non-electric instruments too.
The group includes players of varying abilities, from those returning to music after a break to highly accomplished musicians. If your skills feel a little rusty, don't worry—many of us have improved enormously simply by playing together regularly.
From time to time, we are invited to perform at local events, but participation is entirely optional and there is never any pressure to take part.
Music is sent out by email before sessions. If you read music, you'll need to print your copies; players who learn by ear are equally welcome.
Our venue is St Joseph and St Walburga's Church Hall, Archway Rd, Poole, BH14 9AZ. There is plenty of free parking on site and we are a 3 minute walk from regular bus services at Branksome roundabout.
