Work Experience At Promenade Music
If you want a great start in the music industry, you couldn't join a better business than Promenade Music for your work experience.
Over the years we've had some absolutely fantastic work experience people, some who now work here (Steven Wren, James our Saturday lad) and some who have gone on in to the industry like Steven Kemp (of Hard Fi fame), Neil Claxton (AKA Mint Royale & record producer), Helen Bywater (Professional clarinettist and teacher at the RNCM) to name but a few.

NEW IMPORTANT NOTE: Work experience pupils MUST have their own insurance. They CAN NOT come to Promenade Music on our insurance. We need a letter from the school to acknowledge this fourteen days before work experience begins.

Because we often have several children wanting to come on work experience on the same week, we offer places strictly on a 'first come, first served basis' on receipt of authorised paper work from school. Work experience is open to students who have a keen interest in Music. We are looking for smart pupils with a good attitude and the ability to already play an instrument. We can offer one student a place per week / per fortnight. Once the pupil has been accepted by us, they will need to tell their school to arrange the paper.
