About Creativity Starts Here
Creativity Starts Here is our beginners music and drama programme for ages 5-7 (School Years 1&2).
Offered through two separate sessions each week Creativity Starts Here is designed to nurture students natural creativity, develop communication skills, increase confidence and introduce ensemble and team work.
Creativity Starts Here – 9.00am – 10.00am
Using a range of exercises, games and creative play, students will take part in a vocal/choral session exploring their voice and musicality, and a drama/movement session igniting imagination and engaging their bodies.
Creative Music – 10.15am – 10.45am
Using the recorder and percussion these sessions develop co-ordination skills, melody and rhythm, providing the perfect introduction to the fundamentals of music making and playing.

Payment schedule
The course or courses signed up for will be charged for the term. The number of sessions that will need to be paid for will depend on the number of sessions left in the term. Please see our term dates for information.
We view the first four-weeks as a trial period* for all new students, after which, if you decide not to return to Guildhall Young Artists King’s Cross, a refund will be given for the remaining sessions left within the term.
After the first term has finished, half a term's notice must be given to cancel. See more information on our finance and funding page.
Please view our terms and conditions below for the four-week trial period:
*The four week trial can only be redeemed when signing up to Guildhall Young Artists King’s Cross in the first four weeks of the term. If notice is not given after the first four weeks of attendance, we will not be able to refund the remaining term.
Deposit
We ask for a £100 holding deposit to secure your place. On receipt of your application, a friendly member of our team will discuss your requirements noted on the application form and send a payment link for the reservation of a place. This payment will be taken off one terms fees, or any outstanding balance will be refunded to your account if you give notice within the four-week trial period.

We regret it is not possible to give refunds in the event of absence as the Centre has to continue paying professional tutors and overheads. GYA King’s Cross expects as close to 100% attendance as possible, to ensure you develop and get the most out of your attendance.
Half a term’s notice is required to stop attending (except in exceptional circumstances). This notice period is required to fulfil obligations to the professional tutors, pay for facilities and to encourage you to be fully committed to the courses chosen.
