Music for all our community

This is a truly wonderful series of keyboard sessions run by the fabulous Nick Pollard, keyboard player for synth pop band Crimson Medici. Nick is incredibly knowledgeable and will share this and his enthusiasm with you. No musical knowledge is required for this, Nick will teach you everything to get you started on playing the songs you love (or writing your own).

This is a no pressure environment so you only need to progress at your own speed.
