Wallasey Music Centre

Music for all!

Our successes

The Music Centre is justly proud of what it has achieved over the years. This has been achieved through the hard work of past and present committee members, teaching staff, but most importantly, our young musicians.

  • Over the years the Centre has donated thousands of hard earned pounds to local charities.
  • The Centre has been part of the musical foundation on which some have built a professional career
  • Countless others have had the joy of playing music with like minded young people

And today, we can celebrate what the musical students of today have achieved. We list here the results of examinations that we are aware of and audition successes. If you know of others, please let a member of the teaching staff or a committee member know.
