Building a Musical Community: Backbeat Collective Music's Next Chapter

Welcome to the latest chapter of Backbeat Collective Music, where we've not only evolved as a music school but are growing into a dynamic hub for musicians and enthusiasts alike. As we dive into 2024, our vision extends beyond traditional music education – we are on a mission to cultivate a thriving local musical community alongside our collaboration with The Phoenix Arts Centre.

What's Next? An Invitation to Join Our Musical Journey

In 2023, we dedicated ourselves to expanding our services into the community, and now we're ready to take it to the next level. Backbeat Collective is transforming into more than just a music school; it's becoming a platform for local musicians to grow, develop, and showcase their talents.

As part of our expansion, we're excited to introduce an adult class, inviting individuals of all skill levels to join us. To kickstart this initiative, we're offering a free 3-week course in March – a golden opportunity for like-minded musicians to connect and discover the magic of Backbeat Collective.
