Anyone, any age can attend although I am looking for people who will practice. The course teaches melody, harmony, and rhythm and is a great way to learn to play music. There will opportunities for performance once you have learned the music. Please contact me either by text or call at 02040521762. The class will start in September and I am looking at the ages of the students and the times available. The classes will either be at my home in Pollok or at the Pollok Hall, depending on the numbers.

Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
