Colchester Community Music Centre

A combination of individual, small group, and ensemble music provision in Colchester on Saturday mornings during term time.

We also host our Colchester Juniors programme here at the same time.

Who is this for?

  • Our focus is on group music-making – instrumental learning and musicianship is strengthened through learning with others.
  • Regular sessions take place on Saturday mornings at Colchester County High School for Girls during term time, and our Centre is open to students from across the North Essex region and further afield.
  • It is ideal for any primary aged students looking to join Colchester County High School for Girls for their secondary school, to become familiar with the school and site through music learning.
  • We welcome students aged 7 – 18.

What is on offer?

  • As well as our 1-to-1 provision, we also offer a wide range of learning, including Music Tech (Junior and Senior), Brass Band, String Group, Woodwind Band, Songwriting, and a Colchester Young Voices Choir.
  • We also host the Essex Youth Jazz Quintet and the Essex Youth Rock Ensemble.
