West Berkshire Music Centre opens at Kennet School

Berkshire Music Trust is thrilled to announce the official opening of the West Berkshire Music Centre at Kennet School.

The West Berkshire Music Centre will serve the local community with a range of exciting musical opportunities. Along with the relocation of existing ensembles, we are launching our innovative Soundstage programme, which supports musicians on their journey in popular music. Activities will take place both after school and on Saturdays, offering a variety of one-to-one and small group instrumental and vocal lessons, ensembles, and choirs for children and adults.

Kennet School are delighted to announce that they will be the Lead School for Music in West Berkshire. The National Plan for Music set out ambitious plans for both Music Hubs and Schools to bring music to all, including working with schools such as Kennet to share best practice in their area. Lead Schools for Music have been identified for their consistent high-quality music provision and desire to raise the profile of Music education in their area.

Berkshire Music Trust thanks St. Barthomolew’s School, Newbury, for hosting the formerly named Newbury Music Centre for over a decade. We will continue to offer peripatetic lessons to those students learning instruments and singing with us at the school, as we do for hundreds of other schools across Berkshire.

As a Music charity, Berkshire Music Trust is delighted to be able to offer bursaries to students in West Berkshire through the generous ongoing support of the Greenham Trust. We also continue to invite individuals, organisations, charities and foundations to support our young people in whatever way you are able.
