About Us

What’s Fanfare Music All About?

Everyone loves music in their own way, but many people fear they're not musical, stopping them from ever singing or playing an instrument.

At Fanfare Music, we believe the joy of music is learning together. By building a fun, inclusive and affordable music school, all ages can belong to a community that just loves making a noise.

Music is for everyone and we help everyday people have fun with music!

That’s Mums, Dads, Kids, Grandparents, everyone - we should all have the opportunity to get up and express ourselves musically.

We’re an Ossett-based music school, studio and choir facility. Our close-knit Fanfare Family is genuinely passionate about the unlimited possibilities in songwriting, performance, and just making a good old racket!

Music and performance should be enjoyable. Fanfare provides an inclusive, accessible, warm and friendly space for you to learn new instruments and explore music theory at your own pace.

Learning how to play and perform music shouldn’t ever be stuffy, boring, or pressured. Unfortunately, many of us went through childhood having to learn instruments and theory to strict guidelines. There was simply no room for creativity or expression!

Meet The Teachers

Making Music Accessible

Fanfare’s mission is to make music accessible to everyone.

That’s not just by having access to lots of different instruments, or having a gentle guide to help you perform!

Firsthand, our team has seen how expensive music tuition can be. On the whole, it’s more restrictive now than ever before for people to pick up an instrument and receive the guidance they deserve.

Why should great music tuition - and the opportunity to make music - be locked away behind high prices?

Thanks to the passion of every one of our teachers, Fanfare Music brings music tuition, choir gatherings, jam sessions and even festivals to a wider audience than ever before.

Based at our superb Ossett studio, Fanfare is proud to provide a variety of instrument tuition packages, choral opportunities and more - for less than you’d expect to pay elsewhere in the region.

Helping You Find Your Voice

What really drives our team is the idea that everyone has a song to perform. We inspire students to step out of their comfort zone and surprise themselves.

What’s important is that you get up and you give it a go. Music and performance are amazing confidence boosters! Even if you’ve never picked up a guitar in your life and aren’t sure which end of the piano to start at. Our experts will gently help you find your way.

We celebrate effort and involvement because, at Fanfare Music, we know students get better every week if they enjoy the journey.

Fanfare Music is also committed to providing flexible weekly slots and sessions to adult learners as well as children! You are never ‘too old’ or ‘too busy’ to give music a go.

Autobiographical, Music For Everyone

WHAT IS FANFARE MUSIC?

In 2008 my husband (to-be at that time) and I moved to a town in West Yorkshire called Ossett. We were both civil engineers working in the area and it made sense to settle there. Growing up I played the piano, I learnt at 4, peaked early, and played a lot for school at concerts […]

WHY I GO TO THE PUB WITH MY CHOIR

First, what is a choir? Choirs come in all shapes and forms, but my pop choir, Local Vocals, is a group of enthusiastic people who share a love of singing and music and who join together regularly to work hard turning harmonies and melodies into something beautiful which they then share with their friends, families […]

WHY LEARN SCALES?

A question every student of the piano asks, I’m sure. But why are they so important, and why do so many people find them tricky, boring, hard work, a pain in the backside? First, what is a scale? A scale is the collection, played step by step, note by note, of all the notes which […]
