Learn to play and enjoy music with the Calderdale Music Trust

Calderdale Music Trust offers music lessons for adults, an adult choir and room hire from their stunning town centre premises at The Old Court House, Blackwall, HX1 2DL.

Calderdale Music Trust has recently relocated to Halifax town centre and delivers music lessons to adults (as well as children) during the evenings and on Saturday mornings and now has space for community groups to meet up and hold a club or socialise.

Their music leaders offer lessons in a wide variety of instruments: woodwind, piano and keyboard, strings, brass and drum as well as singing.  Instrument hire is also available.

Find out more about music lessons.

The adult community choir, Calderdale Singing Initiative (CSI) meets on Wednesday evenings from 6.30 to 8pm during term time and holds annual Christmas and summer concerts.  New members are welcome to join and no audition is required.

The choir was formed in 2009 to entice adults back into singing and is open to both men and women and draws its repertoire widely from world and folk music, current pop classics and staples of the classical repertoire. The ability to read music is not essential just a sense of fun and the desire to rise to a challenge. The choir sings in four parts.

Their new premises have been recently renovated and are fully accessible to all, as well as ample on-street (pay and display) parking on the street directly outside our entrance.

They are currently in the process of planning a café and social area in their large downstairs space ready for summer 2022. As part of this we would like to put together a programme of events that Calderdale residents can take advantage of either on a weekly/fortnightly/monthly basis.

If your group is interested in using our space please email: admin@calderdalemusictrust.org.uk
