Douglas-based music retailer Peter Norris Music amd PNM Music Academy is opening its doors for a day of free music tuition.

PNM Music Academy is supporting and taking part in the annual national ’Learn to Play Day’ event in affiliation with the charity Music For All.

Administrator and teachers Rob and Ken Mitchell are inviting you to join them and their colleagues on June 24, for the UK-wide event which offers the general public the chance to experience a free ’taster’ music lesson on the range of instruments taught at the academy which includes guitar, brass, saxophone, vocals, keyboards, violin, piano, bass guitar, drums, banjo, ukulele and music theory.

The academy can accommodate all ages from five years old.

Rob said: ’In the UK over the last three years all participating music stores have filled all of their available slots. In 2016 more than 120 venues took part ranging from music stores and services and even churches. This year on Saturday, June 24, we have a large number of free taster sessions available. If this year proves to be popular we may well run the event over two days next year.

’This year to celebrate our first year as a supporter of Learn to Play Day, we are offering vouchers towards purchases made in store. Intermediate and advanced players will also be invited to perform at an in store Acoustica session on a Saturday afternoon of their choosing.
