About Stratford Music Centre

The aims of Stratford Music Centre are to provide a quality professional service and to encourage students of all ages to learn, enjoy and appreciate different types of music, dance and drama.

In this last year (2009/10) there have been in excess of 450 students registered with the Centre. Full details of the 2010/11 programme are set out in the various pages on this site to give you an idea of the scope of the centre's activities.

At the beginning of the summer holidays we run our annual summer school activities which involve many in a range of fun activities.

Our philosophy

Whilst individual lessons are offered midweek, it has long been a philosophy of the Centre that much of its activities take place on Saturday morning - a time when students can be encouraged to enjoy individual and group activities at the same location and also the opportunity to mix socially with other students, parents and friends in the cafeteria. This has been a major strength which has contributed to its success and is a feature which is not offered elsewhere in the Stratford area. A few groups run during the week.

Examinations or pleasure?

Students wishing to take practical exams will find a complete backup support of aural and theory lessons, plus an accompanist for the actual exam. Others wishing to learn for personal interest and pleasure will find a range of lessons and groups to suit all abilities and ages.
