"This is where happy and magical things happen."
Music learning for life
We want music education to be a positive and meaningful part of everyone's life, whatever their background, age or ability. We know from experience that a life enriched by music brings adventure, fulfilment and self-discovery – opportunities for growth and connection.
We believe individuals everywhere should have the chance to explore their unique musical potential and the joy, resilience and community it provides. Music is, after all, key to the human experience, and through our music learning, we empower individuals to cultivate the skills and communities that broaden perspectives and help shape a harmonious world.
Education for everyone
With over 150 short music courses each year, exploring classical folk and jazz, we empower musicians of all levels to explore and fulfil their potential, whether as a beginner on the piano, or trying a new genre as a skilled string player.
Alongside, our series of concert showcases established and emerging artists in intimate concert hall settings.
Empowering young musicians
We want young musicians to succeed no matter their background. Benslow Music Instrument Loan Scheme lends high quality string and woodwind instruments to talented young musicians aged 7-25 so that they can fulfil their potential and grow towards a career in music.
An oasis of creativity
Our beautiful location in Hitchin is a tranquil place of creativity, where practicing musicians and performances provide a daily soundtrack. It’s a welcoming atmosphere powered by a supportive community that provides inspiration and encouragement.
