Band Connect is an exciting new ensemble which will teach students from year groups 4, 5, 6, how to play the basics on the keyboard/piano, guitar/bass and drums. No experience is necessary, just a passion to learn! Students will also learn how those instruments connect and work together in a band setting, and start to develop song writing skills on both instruments and using music tech.
