The Glasshouse

Everyone can Make Music, whatever your age, experience or ability.

If it’s your first time joining us in person at The Glasshouse, or you’re joining us online, this page should give you all the info you need.

Answer to your question not there? Contact learning@theglasshouseicm.org and we’ll be in touch.

We can’t wait to see in you in a class to make some music together.

Term Dates

You might hear us talk about ‘term dates’ and ‘half term’. Our Make Music classes are in line with school terms. When you book a Make Music class you usually book for the whole term which is 5 or 10 classes (depending on your course).

Summer Term 2024

• Term Starts: Week commencing Monday 22 April 2024
• No classes: Monday 27 May – Saturday 1 June 2024

Instruments

If your class requires an instrument, you’ll need to bring your own. A drum kit and keyboard will be provided in relevant band classes.

If you’re joining us for the Beginner Ukulele class, you can borrow a ukulele.

Livestreamed Classes

For some of our Make Music classes we offer the option to join us from home and livestream the class. We have a camera in the studio so you can see and hear your tutor and join in with your fellow Make Music musicians.

And as an added bonus – in-building bookers will automatically get a free livestream pass. So if you can’t make it in person one week, you can catch up at home, or wherever you are – live or on demand.

Livestreamed classes are available to watch for four days after the class.

Refunds

Refunds for classes can only be made in the first three weeks of term. If you need to apply for a refund, get in touch with the Make Music team on learning@theglasshouseicm.org.

Room/Date Changes

Your classes will mostly take place in our Music Education Centre. The room, venue or date of class might change ahead of or during the term – but we’ll always let you know in advance.

Make sure we have your correct contact details so we can get in touch if we need to let you know of any changes.

Sometimes we might need to switch your regular tutor if they’re off sick. If we can’t find a replacement we may need to reschedule or cancel your class. Rescheduled classes will normally take place at the end of the term or during the half term break. We will always inform you of changes to your class by email.

Parking

If you’re joining us for a Make Music class you can enjoy a reduced parking rate in our car park at a cost of £2.00 per visit. Our car park is behind the building up the slope, with lift and stair access down to the ground level.

On entering the car park please take a ticket from the entry barrier, this can then be exchanged for a participant, reduced-price, paper exit pass.

A participant paper exit pass can be collected from your class.

Payment for the exit passes must be made at one of the car park payment machines before leaving.

If you do have any issues, email learning@theglasshouseicm.org.
