'More people want to get out and play music'

Performers at Yamaha Music School in Blyth

Yamaha Music School opened in Blyth in 2024 and opened a second site in North Shields this year.

Steven Moore from the school said the growth of both sites has been "phenomenal" since opening the doors.

"Our forecast was to be at around 50/60 students with one site," he said. But with nearly 400 people attending the school and space for more, he added: "It just shows that people want to be out playing music and learning music and having that in their life. The school's just growing and it's great fun."
