Creative Music Expression for Wellbeing with Manchester Camerata. 

22 September 2026

-Explore. Experiment. Create. Connect.

Free flexible music group sessions supporting young people to explore music and get creative.

The sessions are overall introductory to music creativity sessions to support wellbeing and are flexibly shaped around the interests and ideas of the group and could include DJing, song-writing, improvisation, music tech and production, soundscapes, music videos and working with guest artists.

Led by music therapists and musicians, it’s a space to experiment without pressure, discover new ways to express yourself through music, develop creative and musical skills, share your music passions and connect with other young people.

These sessions are about free exploration and finding your own way of connecting to music - whether you already make music or have never tried it before.


When do the sessions take place?

  • The Horsfall (Middle Floor) , 42nd Street, 87-91 Great Ancoats Street, Ancoats, Manchester M4 5AG
  • Tuesdays 5-6pm, starting from 22nd September

Young person:
"If I were to say one thing about the groups, you don't need to know a thing about music to be part of the groups, anything goes and everything works"


Other Music Options:
We also have an additional music session that follows at 6-7.10pm. They are both complimentary sessions and the second will allow you to learn more specific skills training and music production using music tech and put your ideas and creative exploration from session one into action.  You're welcome to sign-up for one or both and can find out more here:
