Young Music Makers is an inclusive Saturday music community in North London for children, young people, families, and adults.
Why join us?
Families can explore individual music lessons, inclusive ensembles, choirs, creative groups, and community performance opportunities in one welcoming Saturday setting.
We are very lucky to have some of the best professional musicians in London as part of the YMM family, providing instrumental tuition on piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, recorder, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, drum kit, tuned percussion, ukulele, classical, rock-pop and jazz guitar, bass guitar and voice, as well as music technology, composition and theory.
We offer a wonderful Early Years programme, where children aged four and up can be creative with music, whilst developing core musicianship skills.
We offer Classical, Jazz, Rock and Pop groups, Early Years, Choirs and a creative programme INNOVATE, where we compose music collaboratively.
With 25 different ensembles, including 7 for adults and mixed ages, whatever your age or ability, we have a group for you!
There is a strong focus on performance, with weekly café concerts from 10.45–11.00, a concert at the end of each term showcasing all ensembles and many specialist chamber concerts dotted throughout the year. YMM also loves getting involved with local events, such as performances at the Parliament Hill Bandstand on Hampstead Heath and the York Rise Street Festival.
YMM was established in 1967 and is now based in William Ellis School, NW5, London, next to picturesque Parliament Hill and Hampstead Heath. Now in our 60th year, we are at the heart of music education in North London, offering music lessons and groups for students aged four… to 94!
We regularly fundraise to support students who need financial support.
