Give it a try at the City Lit

Feel like learning the ukelele or dancing the samba? The City Lit have a remarkable number of short courses on offer this summer, enabling you to try out a possible new interest. Instrumental courses include taster sessions for the cello, clarinet, blues harmonica, and classical guitar and free improvisation on the saxophone. There is an introduction to string ensemble playing to drumming and to the tabla. You can polish your samba or learn the ukelele. Singers can get an introduction to jazz improvisation, learn to overcome stage fright or simply improve their technique. There's an opera performance workshop along with opportunities to sing Offenbach's La Belle Helene and Les Miserables, or you can sing a cappella or Gilbert and Sullivan. There are courses on a whole variety of subjects, not just music, over the summer and cost from only £12. The City Lit is London's largest college for adults.
