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, Singing

FAKING IT?

For the past five weeks I’ve been covering singing lessons. When asked, my initial reaction was, ‘What, me? A singing teacher! Don’t be silly!’. But since it was such short notice the school had a choice of either asking me or cancelling the lessons. And I had a choice of either letting my friend down […]

WHY I LOVE GARETH MALONE

Ahhh Gareth Malone. What’s not to love? Ever since I saw ‘The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing’ on the telly all those years ago I’ve been inspired by his energetic approach to getting more people singing. And so whenever I hear a rumour that he’s starting a new series, I make a point of watching, and […]

MUSICAL ALTERNATIVES TO CHOCOLATE THIS EASTER

Kids love Easter because they get given loads of chocolate. And then us ‘responsible’ parents feel obliged to ‘help’ by slowly working our way through the mountain to reduce the amount of chocolate consumed by our children, whose health we respect more than our own. Well, my jeans and I would prefer it if grandparents, […]
