String Folk Connect
String Folk Connect is designed for pupils who have progressed from Area Bands but need some support before they can join InterConnect. This is the perfect ensemble for young people to get more confident, make new friends and become better at their instruments.
For: 9 - 14 year old pupils who play the violin, viola and/or cello and can play around Grade 1+ Level.
When: The group will meet once a week on Monday, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Where: Nottingham Playhouse
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.

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.
