Elevate Course

Elevate is a songwriting and guitar programme designed to provide young musicians aged between 11-18 with the tools and guidance they need to pursue their passion for music. The programme includes instruction on the fundamentals of guitar playing and songwriting, as well as opportunities for hands-on learning and practice. Participants will have the chance to collaborate with other young musicians, receive feedback from experienced mentors, and perform their original songs in a supportive environment.

If you have a young person in your family with a dedicated interest in music, you can gift them with a year-long membership which can be paid with a one off payment of £260 or four quarterly payments of £65.
