Open Sessions

Open Sessions are short weekly blocks of participatory music workshops designed for Disabled adults (age 16+) who have little or no previous experience.

Our participants thrive in a fun, experimental music environment. We place accessible approaches at the heart of activities, fundamentally shaping radical new ways we make music. The sessions are sensitively led by experienced facilitating artists while everyone in the room shape the themes and activities together. We invite you to explore a new sound world, improvise, and lead the sessions. 

The Open Sessions are delivered at accessible venue Tron Theatre – central location with easy access and referrals by partner support organisations.

Bookings for Autumn 2025 are now closed

Please keep an eye on our website for 2026 bookings opening!

The Open Sessions are for adults (age 16+) with little or no previous musical experience, and offered for free.

The weekly workshops are typically on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, half-day sessions with plenty of breaks. Each participant can join for the four weeks, at any one of upcoming five blocks for the season.

To express an interest, please contact us in the first instance.
