The Youth Music Collective
Founded by Lee Brown, a neighbour of mine and local small business owner, The Youth Music Collective has been created to help encourage, inspire, bring together and support young people interested in playing music.
'Make ideas happen'
Hosted locally at Wollaston Village Hall (Bridgnorth Road, Wollaston, DY8 3SN) on every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month between 6-7pm. It's entirely free to attend for 11 to 17 year olds.
There will be a variety of instruments provided for attendees, from electric guitars and basses, to drums, pianos and acoustic guitars with the idea being that if you have been interested in trying or learning an instrument, you can do so in a relaxed, encouraging environment, free of any costs. Whether you have never picked an instrument up before, or whether you have already been taking lessons, you are very much welcomed to join us. You can meet like minded similar age people, creating friendships that share a core passion for music. Try out an instrument that has interested you, but perhaps can't justify buying one of your own yet, or simply not sure if it's right for you or not, the Youth Music Collective gives you the chance to try, with some support on hand too.

Why not bring yourself, and your music interests and ideas to our 'anything goes' relaxed music practice and community group. We are all here to explore and enjoy playing music together.
Already own an instrument, feel free to bring it along too!
If you're a parent, carer, family member and have an 11-17 year old in your life that loves music, and would love to try an instrument but hasn't had the opportunity to try yet, then please do recommend us, and come along. It's free to attend, and is being put on for our community.
