MISSION & VALUES
Music is undeniably a force for good. Whether in the listening, or in the playing; wherever in the world it is found, it has never been anything other than both pleasurable and beneficial. It uplifts the spirit and, created in company, will engender real comradeship. Coda Music Trust uses music as a tool for personal and social change. We love music and believe in its power to transform lives. Coda Music Centre provides a place to learn, train and develop, and offers help and support through participation and therapy.
Music Tuition is offered for all ages and abilities in piano, strings, woodwind, guitars, drums and vocals. Lessons can be one-to-one, in pairs or groups – depending on preference and budget. In addition, Coda also offers a wide range of group musical activities including choirs, groups and ensembles.
Coda is also a unique, award-winning and innovative local charity which reaches the most vulnerable people in the community; those with profound disabilities, at the end of their life, plagued by ill health, the sick, the elderly, and those in need. We try to help everyone through music.
We love to play, to bring people together, engage and nurture enthusiasm and talent.
Come and listen or participate in the wide range of musical activities on offer. If you love and would like to make music, there is always a welcome for you at Coda.
