NMPAT Nene Valley Centre

Nene Valley Music and Performing Arts Centre is based at Oundle Primary School. There are lots of different musical and artistic opportunities for the young performers of the Oundle area. Come and see us!

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

Young Performers

The Young Performers club runs throughout the morning and is split into three distinct sessions:

• At 9am, children of reception age through to Year 3 can participate in musical activities followed by a dance session at 9:55am.
• At 11:05am we offer a beginner ukulele class for children up to Year 4.

Musical theatre

We have a thriving musical theatre community with a class for children in Year 6 and above, and this is complemented by separate, age-specific, dance and drama classes.

Instrumental musicians

For our more traditional musicians we have a number of instrumental ensembles catering for a wide range of ability and experience.

These include:

• strings groups
• wind bands
• brass
• woodwind beginner groups
• folk / klezmer group

Rock school

For those budding rockers and future pop stars, our rock school runs throughout the morning, and there is also a beginner acoustic guitar class at 9.55am.
