Come & Play – free choir/ensemble trials

Thinking of joining a Music Centre group this September?

Start with a free Come & Play trial and discover what’s on offer.
Young musicians who join a choirs, band* or ensemble at our South Wimbledon Music Centre in September could be part of our 2026 Royal Albert Hall performance in March.

Singing in a choir or playing in a band or ensemble is like being a small, but vital, piece in a big and colourful jigsaw puzzle. Each note that’s sung or played works together to bring a piece of music to life. For a musician, there’s nothing else quite like it.

Our South Wimbledon Music Centre is home to a wide range of choirs, bands and ensembles for 7-18 year olds who meet to rehearse after school or on Saturdays. This is where the magic happens!

Group-playing/singing can boost your child’s progress and enjoyment of singing or learning an instrument, while also fostering friendships, building confidence, and providing exciting performance opportunities they wouldn’t have on their own.

As well as end-of-term and community concerts, our Music Centre members get to perform at exciting locations and events like the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, the Tower of London, Wimbledon BookFest, Regents Park Music Festival, Wimbledon International Music Festival and the Royal Albert Hall.

If your child is aged 7 or over, enjoys singing and/or has been learning an instrument for a term or more and would like to take their playing to the next level, register for a FREE trial rehearsal as part of our popular Come & Play sessions.

Once you’ve registered, our team will be in touch to recommend which groups would suit your child’s age, instrument and ability. Limited spaces available!
