New Noise
CALLING THE MUSIC MAKERS OF TOMORROW!
Do you LOVE music, want to develop your playing or give new instruments a try?
Want to meet, jam and collaborate with likeminded music makers?
If the answer to any of these is YES then get yourself to the New Noise Music Centre!
New Noise is here to support the next generation of music makers. This is a space for young people aged 13-16 to experiment across a range of instruments and music-making techniques. Each session begins with a full-group exploration of a theme, moves into focused workshop sessions with dedicated tutors, and culminates in small project groups where participants work on songs, performances, or music-related projects. Over three terms, young people will gain tangible skills, confidence and industry understanding, all while working toward performances and showcases at Future Yard itself.
Whether you dream of performing, working with technology, or exploring careers in the music industry, this refreshed New Noise experience gives you the skills, inspiration, and insight to make it happen. This is a safe space for young musicians to meet like minded people and work towards inspiring goals together.
This isn’t your standard music class. New Noise combines:
- Hands-on music-making: songwriting, live performance, improvisation and technology
- Industry insight: guidance from local musicians, producers and live event professionals
- Creative identity + collaboration: from band branding and visual design to festival and gig planning
- Exciting topical themes: including global music, social and environmental storytelling and event design
Participants are encouraged to try as many disciplines as possible. Complete beginners and experienced players are all welcome. All we ask is you come with an openness to collaborate, try new things and make some noise!
The next term starts on 4th October 2025 with an intro session, followed by week 1 of the programme on 18th October 2025. Sessions run 10am – 1pm. There is a termly fee for New Noise places.
This term of NNMC takes place between 4th October 2025 and 17th January 2026, with a break for half term and Christmas.

NEW NOISE CLUB <18
Several times a year we also host matinée live shows for under-18s under the banner of New Noise Club <18. These shows are specifically designed to be enjoyed by under-18s, headlined by touring artists in dry bar shows that start at 12.30pm. Each show is ticketed and tickets are not available to adults (but parents can attend with their children – we just ask them to stay at the back or outside the live room to create a comfortable space for the young people). Each of these NNC<18 shows will also feature one of our New Noise Music Centre artists as support, as a great chance to perform on our live room stage to a full audience.
