Bedfordshire Youth Music Courses
The Bedfordshire Music Trust run courses for young musicians both independently and in collaboration with local music hubs.
Courses may take place during the school holidays or at weekends during term time. Experienced staff will tutor the students over the course and virtually all will culminate in a public performance
They cater for all orchestral instruments covering a range of abilities and there is also the Bedfordshire Youth Opera for aspiring singers! There is no audition requirement for any of our current courses but some might be by invitation only and Youth Opera auditions for principal roles.
