Derby Music Centre is a really friendly place where music and friendships both flourish. Without it some pupils struggle to find the motivation to continue through the difficult times on their instruments, or while doing GCSE’s and A Levels; with it they blossom and come to love music even more, through the support of playing in groups, creating amazing memories, achieving high quality music and being part of something really special.
