The taster sessions at Yamaha Music Point will be held on October 8 between 10.15am and 2pm.

The music school’s spokesman Paul Daggett said: “The past two years have shown how important music is to all our lives and how it can bring people together even in the most difficult of circumstances. We aim to help as many people as possible understand the unique joys and benefits of learning an instrument (or taking part in a choir)."

He added: “ Anyone interested in learning to play piano, keyboard, drums or vocal, or are looking to pick it up again, should come and join us for this celebration of music making.”
