Pick Up And Play: Instrumental Taster Session (SEND)

For young people with SEND aged 15 – 25 years

Please email inclusiveactivities@wiltshire.gov.uk to book

Ever wanted to try playing an instrument but not had the chance? Or maybe you want to try again, having had a break. This is your chance to explore different instruments, learn some basics – and even try learning a tune. Led by our friendly team, this relaxed session gives you the chance to try out a range of instruments in a safe and welcoming space. We’re working in partnership with Inclusive Wiltshire to provide some specialist, tailored, free workshops, fully supported by experienced practitioners and adaptable to participants’ needs, in a comfortable, accessible and welcoming space.

We’re also offering two weeks of free rehearsal space for young musicians throughout the Press Play programme (subject to availability). Email us to inquire and book a slot: creativelearning@wiltshiremusic.org.uk.
