The majority of our ensembles meet and rehearse together at our Music Centre on Saturday mornings at the Hereford Sixth Form College. On weekday evenings, our popular Brass Band and prestigious Youth Orchestra have their weekly rehearsals in The Town Hall.  There are ensembles for all abilities, so children don’t need to have been learning an instrument for very long before they can be a part of EYM. Indeed, if they have never played an instrument before, they can still join the Ukulele Ensemble! All young people, age 6-21, are invited to be part of the Youth Choir.  

 

There are a great number of advantages to learning a musical instrument: 

 

• Meeting new friends of other ages and from other schools 

• Learning to play music of a variety of styles, alongside others 

• Improving musical and technical abilities 

• Developing listening and aural skills 

• Learning to be part of a team and developing team-building skills 

• Developing skills such as social interaction and discipline etc
