This Archive is built up from our old "Geocities" website. It has info and pictures from earlier workshops and concerts as well as stuff about some of the teachers and volunteers and backers who helped us so much as we built the School from scratch.

 

 

 Specialising in Jazz, Latin American and Blues the Ladywood    Community School of Music aims to provide affordably priced quality musical tuition for children and adults of all ages and abilities.

We currently offer classes on the Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Violin, Piano/Keyboards, Guitar, Double Bass and Drums* and students have the opportunity to showcase their talents in our Band development project as well as in Andy Hamiltons Sunday lunchtime concerts at the Drum.

Classes are between 5 and 7 on Thursday evenings, priced £2.00(conc) or £3.00(full).

*We can teach other instruments subject to interest.
