Your design. Your sound. Music for young people by young people!
Co-designed with young people, Press Play is part of our commitment to giving young people more voice and opportunity – and this summer, you can get involved at Wiltshire Music Centre.
The programme offers workshops and courses in music production, songwriting and instrumental skills, guided by some brilliant workshop leaders. Whether you play an instrument, sing, or want to explore a new genre, this is a space to play with others and grow as a musician. All instruments, genres, and voices are welcome – there’s space for everyone!
We’re also offering two weeks of free rehearsal space, plus FREE sessions designed specifically for young people with SEND and additional needs, delivered in partnership with Inclusive Wiltshire.
