The Oldham Council Music Service is committed to supporting and fulfilling the musical aspirations of all young people living in the borough (in and out of school), and engaging people of all ages in a variety of exciting musical activities.
If you sing or play an instrument you should be a part of the amazing Oldham Music Centre.
We have award winning groups for all abilities and all ages – bands, orchestras, choirs, rock and pop, folk music are just a few examples. There are also classes for infants right through to senior citizens as well as special music support groups for Looked after Children or those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
Membership works out at less than £5 per week and, for school-aged pupils, this enables musicians to join as many relevant groups as they wish. Bursaries and financial assistance are also available to support young people that might not otherwise be able to take part.
It’s our ambition to ensure that every resident in Oldham who wants to make music has an opportunity to do so with us or one of our partners, so get in touch today to see how you can become part of our musical community.
Oldham Music Service is also proud to be a founder member of the GM Music Hub, which is an exciting and innovative music education partnership. We are committed to providing the highest quality music education and the best expertise which the region has to offer.
Music can transform children’s lives and we want to work with local families, schools and other organisations to make sure that all children get the chance to play music, achieve great things and inspire others.
