About us

Ivybridge Music Centre is funded by Devon Music Education Hub and provides music education to the Ivybridge Learning Community.  Sessions take place after school at Ivybridge Community College and are for children in Years 4, 5 and 6 at primary school, and for Years 7 to 13 at secondary school.  We believe that music making should be accessible to all.  That is why our fees are low, and all our sessions are completely free to those eligible for Free School Meals.
