👋 Welcome Back to the Second Half of Term!
We hope you all had a restful half-term break. YMM is back this Saturday 7 November, and we're looking forward to a busy and exciting few weeks of music-making as we build towards our Christmas concerts.

📝 New Grade 5 Theory Class: Register Your Interest
We're delighted to announce a new Grade 5 Theory class with Rocket Brooks, starting on Saturday 14 November, from 11:30 to 12:00.
Grade 5 Theory is a great milestone for any musician. It deepens your understanding of the music you play, makes reading and learning new pieces easier, and is a requirement for taking ABRSM practical exams at Grade 6 and beyond.
If you or your child would be interested in joining, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing admin@youngmusicmakers.co.uk.

🎸 Café Concert This Saturday!
Our weekly Café Concerts continue this Saturday, 7 November, from 10:45 to 11:00!
This week we're delighted to welcome Theo, who will be performing on classical guitar. Come along and give Theo a warm YMM welcome!
And while you're there, don't forget our community café, run by Lucy, which is open every Saturday. It's the perfect place to relax while you wait, with coffee and a delicious selection of Lucy's homemade bakes.

📖 New on the Blog: Why Play in a Group?
Learning an instrument is wonderful, but making music with others is where the magic really happens. Playing in a group builds confidence, sharpens listening skills and creates lasting friendships, and it's at the heart of everything we do at YMM.
Our new article explores why group music making matters and how to find the right YMM group for you or your child.
