After School Music Programme

Brixton Wings offers a music program with after-school keyboard, guitar, and band workshops. With funder support, we foster an engaging atmosphere for individual and group musical development, encouraging structured and improvised learning.

Caring

We welcome all skill levels, offering classes, dedicated instructors, and ABRSM exams from grade 1 to 8. Students learn notation and play to exam board standard.
