The following are some music-making groups and clubs in the Cambridge area that welcome children and young people.

Vox Rocks
New vocal group in St Neots for guys aged 14-21

Vox Rocks starts in January 2010 and will run every week at St Neots Town Football Club covering music from Rock to Gospel and Funk. If you've always fancied singing stuff from the likes of 'The Stones', 'Queen', 'Kasabian', 'Artic Monkeys' 'The Kooks' and 'The Who' and many many more - then this is the group for you!

Regular sessions will be held every Sunday from 6 - 7.30, starting on the 10th January. Just turn up at any session. Thanks to an award from John Lewis the cost for each session is only £1.

Stringmoves

Stringmoves is an exciting project which combines Dalcroze Eurhythmics and the opportunity to learn a stringed instrument within a whole musical experience. We offer violin, viola and cello teaching, and general musicianship training, music theory and choir. Tuition takes place on Saturday mornings at St John’s College School in Cambridge. The aim of the project is to provide children with a good grounding in basic musical skills, a firm technical introduction to string playing, and above all, a fun and positive experience of music-making.
