Join us after half term

Autumn half-term holiday has caught up with us already, so our students, music teachers and staff can enjoy a well-earned break. We’re back on 8 November.

It’s not too late to come and join us in King’s Lynn as a new student or group member. If you are looking for music lessons, or maybe you would just like to try out a new instrument, you are welcome to speak to us at any time — you don’t have to wait until the beginning of a new term. We have been offering some try-out sessions to new students just over the past couple of weeks, and we still have room for more on most instruments.

Just contact us, and we’ll let you know what we can offer you — whether it’s piano lessons, playing in our wind band, learning to play the drums or simply singing in a group.

Music lessons: an investment for life

The BBC have published an article looking at the cost of music lessons, and how to make the most of this investment in your, or your child’s, future. Once you start to learn, you can start to use and develop your skills straight away, and these are skills which will always remain with you.

West Norfolk Music Centre operates as an educational charity and aims to make music tuition as affordable and accessible as possible to all students. So, not only can we offer music lessons at a competitive cost compared to the average prices quoted in the article, we also offer the added value of group participation at no extra cost. Whatever your level, whatever your instrument, we have a group for you, and many of our members already make the most of this opportunity.

To join us, or to find out more about what is available, just contact us.

Sell on eBay, donate to WNMC

West Norfolk Music Centre now has an account with the PayPal Giving Fund, allowing eBay sellers (whether or not they are members of the Centre) to donate some or all of their sale proceeds to us.

If you are a keen eBay user, why not list some of your items in support of the Music Centre. Your donation can be as little as 10% of the sale price, and eBay’s insertion fee and final value fees are waived on the donation. Even better, if you’re a taxpayer, the PayPal Giving Fund can claim Gift Aid on the donation before passing the whole amount on.

To get involved, follow the instructions at http://pages.ebay.co.uk/ebayforcharity/sell.html. It’s simple: just use the ‘advanced sell’ form the first time you want to donate, and you’ll be able to link your account to ours. Then you’ll be given the option to donate on any future listings too.

New term dates 2014-15

West Norfolk Music Centre’s new term dates for 2014-15 are now available here on our website. Make a note in your diary!

If you are interested in taking up a new instrument or joining a group, contact us now to check availability for September. Whether you are an existing member or want to join us, and whether you are interested in piano lessons, tuition on violin, clarinet, guitar, trumpet or any other instrument, we will look to offer something to suit you.

Great concert, enjoy the summer!

Students, teachers and groups at West Norfolk Music Centre showed off the results of their hard work at our concert in King’s Lynn yesterday. With a wide range of music, and a combination of individual performances and musical groups, there was something for everyone.

We’re back again on 13 September. In the meantime, we will all be practising hard, planning our programme for next term, or maybe just enjoying a well-deserved rest!

We always welcome new students, so if you’ve always wanted to try an instrument, or if you want to play your instrument in groups with others, contact us and find out what we can offer you.
