This event offers budding and lapsed music makers a fantastic opportunity to play an instrument and receive a free music lesson, regardless of ability. Held at partner venues and music stores across the UK, participants get a chance to experience the joy of music and handle instruments they’ve long aspired to play.
In 2019 over 10,000 free lessons were given and more than a fifth of those who took part continued their musical experience. These experiences are a great way to learn more about what’s involved in playing an instrument and how you can find local resources to support your future music making.
Learn to Play Day has become the biggest day of the year for us and an essential part of our calendar. 700 people joined us for a dozen different workshops in one day
