Crowd-funding campaign to fund new facility
Many venues across the Island are ill-equipped for music lessons, making teacher's jobs much more difficult.
That's the view of Laura Rowles, co-owner of Mannin Music, a private music teachers collaboration.
The group has launched a crowd funding campaign to build a new half a million pound, multi-purpose rehearsal centre, fully equipped for music, acting and other arts.
She says the new facility is much needed as the venues currently in use are proving tricky for teachers:
Amber weather warning issued as strong winds and coastal conditions expected overnight
Hospice funding criticised by UK charity chief amid Isle of Man service cuts
Sailings cancelled as storm brings gale-force winds
Manx Mountain Marathon route diverted over safety concerns amid forecast strong winds
