Minehead Music Improvisation Group is a new unique music making opportunity for those who enjoy meeting up with others, have a love of music of all kinds and who want to have some fun one afternoon a week singing some favourite songs, experimenting with weird and wonderful instruments from around the world and producing some magical improvised music into the bargain

Something very different for sure !

Singing and Music Improvisation

Community singing is so popular and a particularly powerful way of staying connected with others. It can be especially valuable for those who are struggling with their health for one reason or another. So whilst our new rather alternative music group is for everyone it might be of particular interest to those who might need a bit of a lift right now.*

So we will sing a few songs for sure but we will also be offering something very different indeed - an opportunity to let your hair down, express yourself and connect with others in a really magical musical way. Read on!

Music Improvisation

Music Improvisation is a fun alternative way of experimenting with beautiful musical instruments from all over the world. You don't need to be able to 'play' these instruments - they are carefully chosen to allow everyone to get involved so just be prepared to dive in and enjoy the adventure of it all. A great alternative way to express yourself and let your hair down.

For a myriad of different reasons some of us struggle to find words nowadays to express the way we feel or even just to share a gentle conversation and music improvisation can help fill that gap, particularly so for those who love their music.*

If you are interested in getting involved in a fun friendly music making group that offers something very different indeed then get in touch. Please also say hello if you think this might help someone you know well or perhaps a loved one struggling with things at the moment.

We kick off October 1st 2024 - Tuesday afternoons from 2pm to 3.15pm or thereabouts. United Reformed Church Hall, on the junctions of Bancks Street and Irnham Road, Minehead Town Centre. One afternoon a week for a few weeks and we'll then see how we all feel after that and take it from there.

Costs

£8 per person per session or if money is tight, whatever you can afford, that's fine.
