Get the real X Factor with Band on the Wall

by Ethos public relations

Band on the Wall, Manchester’s legendary music venue, is encouraging any budding singers, dancers and musicians to sign up to their Learning and Participation Programme.

With talent shows such as the X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing appearing back on our TV screens, the not-for-profit venue, which is run by registered charity Inner City Music, has launched its Autumn Programme of music courses.

The Programme offers a range of inspiring, interesting and challenging opportunities for non-formal, hands-on learning for people of all ages and abilities.

Courses this season include:

•    Tap Rhythm Project
•    Harmonica Class
•    Jazz Improvisation Course
•    Picturehouse Choir
•    Beginner Guitar Course
•    Jazz Guitar Course
•    Jazz Foundations Course
•     Global Grooves: Pernambucan Percussion

Tim Chatterton, Learning and Participation Officer at Band on the Wall, said: “Our courses are a great way for everyone to learn more about music. You get to acquire a new skill, in a fantastic venue, while meeting new friends.

“Whilst we have regular courses like singing classes and guitar classes, the Learning and Participation Programme – like the venue itself – champions many genres of music. With tap dance and harmonica classes – there really is something for everyone.

“As a charity, all the money we make from the venue goes back into programmes like this. These programmes benefit the community and enable everyone and anyone to enhance their experience of music and I encourage as many people to take part as possible.”
