Keys Connect

Introducing a new group for young people in Nottingham City looking to learn or develop skills on the piano/keyboard. There will be separate sessions for beginner & intermediate/advanced players.

Who It's For:

This group is perfect for young musicians from 9 to 18 years old, with different sessions planned for beginner and intermediate/advanced learners. Participants will play different styles of music and be able to guide the choice of pieces learnt, be encouraged and supported to read notation, perform, to learn the theory behind the music, and to compose their own material.

We offer a FREE trial session for all ensembles, so if you're interested in just getting an idea of what rehearsals are like, email rebecca.hart@nottinghammusichub.org.uk to set a trial up.

Where & When:

Advanced/secondary age: 4:45PM-5:30PM

Beginner/primary age: 5:35PM-6:20PM

Tuesdays at the Old Bus Depot, Fisher Gate Point, NG1 1GD


If you'd like to give the group a try, just fill out our enrolment form by clicking the button below. We will be in touch soon!

Ensemble Fees

For young people who live in Nottingham City and/or study in a city state school, the annual ensemble fee for 2024-2025 is £56 (£17 concessions). Please note that you only have to pay one annual fee but can be part of more than one Music Hub ensemble (for example, your child may play in RHYO as well as Guitar Connect but just pay the ensemble fee once).

How to make the ensemble fee payment:
Log into Speed Admin to view your charge state. You will need to select ‘pay with card’ where you can then choose the invoice/s you would like to pay. Click ‘go to payment’ and make the payment in Stripe. For any questions, please email info@nottinghammusichub.org.uk

Discount/Financial assistance
Nottingham Music Service is committed to making its activities as inclusive and accessible as possible. We are able to offer discounted rates and support for pupils/families who wish to access our ensembles. For students to be eligible to receive a discounted rate for joining an ensemble they need to have an entitlement of free school meals, not including the universal provision for KS1 students.

For those who don’t meet the criteria above but are experiencing financial difficulty, a reduced ensemble subscription may be applicable. Please see the Subsidy Application document below for more information.
