NMPAT Corby Centre

While Centres are not able to meet in person, we have a brand new initiative: NMPATVC our new virtual Centre.

Just like the regular centres you don’t need any experience to join in, and there is something for everyone who enjoys Music and the Performing Arts to participate in.

Sessions will be held on Saturday mornings from 9.30-12.30 via Zoom. There will be a timetable of activities including:

A welcome and warm-up session
Instrumental ensembles for all standards
Musical theatre
Adult community choir
Weekly workshops including GM, Jazz, Folk and Drama

View the full timetable here: VC timetable

What can you do at Corby Centre?

Corby music and Performing arts centre runs various activities throughout the morning – including music, dance and drama classes – and cater for children from the age of three years to the time they leave school.

A timetable of face-to-face activities will be made available once we have confirmation around resuming meetings at the Centre.

We are totally inclusive and welcome everybody – it doesn’t matter if you don’t already play an instrument at school; there will be activities for you to enjoy.

There are a couple of classes for parents and carers too.

Free taster session

If you would just like to come and see what we do, come along for a free taster session. Just turn up and someone will be able to show you what there is to see.

Coronavirus and NMPAT

27th February 2021

We welcome the news that all children will be returning to school from 8th March. We are already discussing with schools start dates for our return and look forward to seeing many of our pupils face to face as soon as possible.

Individual lessons out of school and County Groups are still restricted by the “stay at home” order, and much as we want to, we are unable to resume lessons or rehearsals at Kettering Road until the introduction of Step 2 of the Roadmap to end Lockdown. This will be Monday 12^th April if all goes well.

In the meantime, our county rehearsals will continue on-line with their amended timetable and we will be delivering lessons on-line where it is possible. The NMPAT Virtual Centre is meeting on Saturdays and welcomes any new members or visitors who may like to join us. To register for the Spring Term as a new students please visit use the online form.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed sorrow and support at the loss of our colleague Jon Lloyd. The warmth of feeling towards Jon and his work for NMPAT has been a great support at this very difficult time.

Peter Smalley, Chief Executive
