The UK charity Music for All has announced its Learn to Play event will take place from 9–12 October 2025.
The annual event invites everyone, regardless of age, experience and background, to experience a free taster music-making lesson on a musical instrument or as a singing lesson. It is held in venues across the UK.
Launched over a decade ago, Learn to Play collaborates with music providers such as community groups, retail music shops and music teachers to create the opportunity for everyone to experience music-making at first hand.
Benefits to the music providers include:
Sonali Banerjee, Music for All’s general manager, said: ‘Music providers will be aware that engagement with performance-based art, particularly participation in music, has been very well documented over the years as being linked to reductions in depression, anxiety and pain and improved quality of life for many people. Learn to Play activities are needed now more than ever and through these regional music making events, we aim to support vital UK music providers, as well as inspire as many people as possible in experiencing the unique joys and benefits of music making.
