Join Furness Music Centre

Anyone can join Furness Music Centre - we don't make you audition and we don't have an quotas for the maximum number of a particular instrument or voice.  From a practical perspective only:

• to play in the Training Orchestra you should should probably be able to play at Grade 1 standard
• to play in the Community Orchestra you should should probably be able to play at Grade 2 or 3 standard or above.  We can provide simplified parts if a piece is too hard for you
• to sing in our choir, you don't need to be able read music - although we will teach you if you wish

Each session at Furness Music Centre is charged termly (with three terms a year). and the costs are set out below.  We always suggest that new members come along for a few weeks to make sure that it is for them before paying us

We try to keep everything as affordable as possible, but if cost is an issue at all for you, please have a quiet word with Peter Fitzpatrick our treasurer - details on the Contact Points page)  As a charity we are able to offer discounted and free places.  There are no set conditions for this - we have found this makes things far too complicated' Just speak to us and we will find a way for you to play or sing with us (or both!)
