About Us
• Established in 1982 as the Berkshire Young Musicians Trust, it rebranded as Berkshire Maestros in 2006 and is the provider of music tuition in schools and music centres for Bracknell Forest, Reading, the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, West Berkshire and Wokingham Unitary Authorities.
• Regarded as one of the finest youth music organisations in the country, thousands of children have music lessons with Maestros every week.
• The emphasis in our sessions is on learning through fun. Our teaching staff are amongst the best in the country.
• We run hundreds of bands, choirs and orchestras to allow children to build on their lesson experience. These take place at our music centres based in Bracknell, Newbury, Reading and Windsor. Maestros also provides a world class awards scheme to gifted and talented young musicians.
• Berkshire Maestros is constantly developing and implementing new projects with schools, community groups and other arts organisations. In addition, we work closely with national conservatoires and university departments. These associations have a vital role to play in enhancing the opportunities for our pupils and in staff development programmes.
With the support of five of the Berkshire Unitary Authorities, Maestros offer generous discounts to low-income families, reduced rates for beginners, a special £20 introductory offer on the first term in beginner ensembles and 25% off membership of every band, choir or orchestra for all students having lessons with Maestros so that every child can discover the wonderful world of music.
We want every child and young person in Berkshire to join in the fun of music-making....the Maestros way!
