Learn to Play comes to Bristol

By Issy Packer  Wednesday Oct 5, 2022

The music charity Music for All returns to Bristol to offer free 10-15 minute taster sessions for beginners and returning musicians.

The sessions will be held at Mickleburgh Music Hub on October 8 and 9.

A recent University of London survey found that music can help with depression and anxiety and the charity aims to reach as many people as possible with taster lessons held across the UK.

OBE Jools Holland, Patron of Music for All said: “Making music is very important to me. It’s my work, my pleasure, my friend, companion and therapist.

“The charity Music for All believes passionately in the unique power of music to changes lives and that is why it runs Learn to Play. If you’re a budding or lapsed musician, come along to the event for a two-day celebration of music making.”

As part of the ‘Learn to Play’ event, the charity supporters and ambassadors such as Jools Holland, Skunk Anansie, Snow Patrol, Rob Rolfe and Dave Tench have released YouTube tutorial lessons that can be accessed for everyone at any time on the Music for All YouTube channel.

During the ‘Learn to Play 22’ event, new videos will be released on the channel throughout the weekend.

You can check out their YouTube channel here.
