Home Lessons, classes, projects and resources Residentials for young musicians

Play & Stay Music Residentials

We usually run an annual series of residential courses for young musicians at Rock UK Frontier Centre, Addington Road, Irthlingborough, NN9 5UH . Applications are invited from students of the appropriate standard who fall within the specified age ranges and forms are available from NMPAT teachers.

However. due to the current situation with Coronavirus, no residential courses for 2020 to 2021 have been planned. We may be able to run some events at NMPAT’s Kettering Road site, but this will very much be dependent on current government guidelines.

Coronavirus and NMPAT

6th July 2021

Thank you to everyone who supported our Summer Festival of Music at Derngate. We were delighted at the standard of performance by all of the groups, who played to such a high standard, with virtually no full rehearsals for the groups. It was such a joy to see all of the young musicians performing.

Thank you also to everyone who has supported the Virtual Centre throughout the year. The final meeting on Saturday 3rd July was very emotional, but it also heralds the return to our real life Centres in September.

All our planning is now focused on September and we are watching Government guidance to see what will be possible. We are planning a return to normal rehearsal plans and will confirm this as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your support throughout this year. We wish you a very happy summer holiday and we look forward to a return to regular music making in September
