Whether you love to sing, enjoy live performance or want to deepen your understanding of music, our singing, choir, classical music and theatre performance courses in London offer a welcoming and supportive environment for adult learners. While many of our learners are aged 50 and over, our courses are open to everyone, regardless of age or experience.
Taking part in a choir, learning performance skills or studying music can improve confidence, creativity and wellbeing while providing opportunities to meet like-minded people. Music is also a wonderful way to keep your mind active, develop new skills and experience the joy of learning as part of a community.
Our courses include opportunities to sing and perform with others, explore the traditions of music hall and theatre performance, and study classical music in greater depth through tutor-led discussion and listening. Whether you’re looking for a community choir, an introduction to musical performance or a deeper appreciation of the classical music repertoire, you’ll find a friendly group of fellow music lovers at Mary Ward Centre.
