Talk to classmates, family, friends and friends-of-friends. Ask music teachers and tutors who they know. Find out who else in your school plays musical instruments. You could put up posters at school or clubs you go to, asking interested musicians to put forward their names.

Talent shows are a good place to meet singers and

musicians.

If you make contact with other musicians via the internet, remember cybersafety rules. It is not a good idea to meet people you have only met online, because you could put yourself at risk. Only ever do so in a public place when you are with parents or other adults.
