About The MAPAS Centre
The MAPAS Centre is the name given to the group activities/instrumental lesson we run outside of our work in schools. We offer over 25 group opportunities including bands, orchestras, theatre groups and choirs. We cater for both children and adults, as well as running specialist groups for those with SEND. The MAPAS Centre also offers one to one instrumental music lessons.
