There are plenty of good musicmaking opportunities for young people but by far the biggest, the Isle of Wight Music Centre, starts a new season this Saturday morning, 18 September, at Medina High School.

Around 400 young musicians will be playing in three orchestras, four bands, a jazz group, recorder groups, keyboards and choirs.

Buses bring people in from all over the Island.

Come and give it a try, its fun, sociable, musical, and visitors are welcome to come and look round and have a coffee.

Most groups play from 10.00am - 1230pm.

Membership this year is £40 for the full season September - May.

A bus pass, if required, is £28 a year from anywhere on the island. Details on the IWC Website
