Area-Based Ensembles

We run several local area ensembles in some Sandwell schools.  These ensembles are at beginner level and are an ideal introduction to playing in a group with others, for children who are already learning to play an instrument.

Parents / Guardians of existing area ensemble members can update us with contact and consent information by scrolling to the bottom of this page and making use of the links to two online forms.
