What can you do at Brackley and Cheney Centre?
What can you do at the Centre?
Brackley and Cheney Music and Performing Arts Centre is run by a team of enthusiastic and experienced teachers and provides an exciting selection of music, art and drama sessions.
A timetable of face-to-face activities will be made available once we have confirmation around resuming meetings at the Centre.
Music
For our younger children who perhaps have not started to learn an instrument yet, we offer an introduction to music through the use of instruments such as the ukulele, recorder, glockenspiel and percussion, and also encourage the children to sing and take part in lots of fun music games.
Our other music groups for those who already play an instrument, include:
- Orchestras
- Jazz bands
- Strings
- Woodwind
- Brass
- Chamber
- Guitar and Ukulele
- Percussion
- Rock bands
We cater for all abilities from the absolute beginner to the more advanced and we cover an extensive range of musical genres from Classical to Rock and Folk.
Art
Our Art groups enable all children to explore many aspects of art using pastels, paint, pencils and collage, plus areas of craftwork.
Drama
Our Musical Theatre and Drama groups are a great place to build confidence, and give the children an insight into the technical elements of musical theatre and drama through activities, games and performance opportunities.
Come for a taster session
Every child is entitled to a no obligation taster session as this will give them a chance to experience the Centre before committing themselves. We therefore welcome you to come and see us any Saturday during term time, and one of our staff members will go through our timetable and show you around.
