Tea & Jam

Tea & Jam is back at B:Music on Thursday 22 October, one of their twice-monthly sessions that run on Thursdays from 12.30 to 1.30pm. It's a music-making session open to adults of all abilities, and you don't need any prior musical experience to take part. Singing and percussion are at the heart of every session, with expert music leaders on hand to help the group grow in confidence as they go.

B:Music runs the sessions as part of its wider work in the city. They're the charity responsible for Birmingham Symphony Hall, home of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and Town Hall, one of the city's most iconic historic buildings. Tea & Jam is designed to improve wellbeing and combat isolation by bringing adults together for a shared musical experience, so it's as much about the people you meet as the music you make.

The sessions take place in the Justham Family Room and Jane How Room at Birmingham Symphony Hall, and they're free to attend with no booking required. Under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult. If you've been looking for a low-pressure way to get involved with music and meet some new people in the city, this is a good place to start. It runs from 12.30 to 1.30pm on Thursday 22 October at Birmingham Symphony Hall.
