The Best Private Trips To Book For Your Music Class

Looking to book a field trip for your music class, band or orchestra? Our Culture Trips are immersive adventures that take in some of the most significant musical destinations on Earth. Book a private trip and you can even tailor your itinerary to offer invaluable musical experiences to your group.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Complete Portugal by Train

If you’re keen to explore the origins of different music genres – not just where they come from but also why they spring into existence where they do – we think Portugal is the perfect place to visit with your class. Music is integral to Portuguese culture, something which is abundantly clear across the jazz bars and independent venues of Porto and Lisbon, the start and end points of our eight-day Rail Trip. Without doubt the most culturally significant contribution to music this country has offered, however, is fado. This soulful form of folk music is still played all over the country come nightfall, and you’ll get to experience a live show on our first night in Lisbon. It is an extraordinary form of music to see live, and particularly valuable to singers and songwriters who want to know how to pour their heart and soul into a song and performance.

Japan by Train: The Grand Tour

Japan, in many ways, is fascinating for its blend of the old and new. This is no different when it comes to music. This is a part of the world that loves pop music, but it also has a truly ancient relationship with song. You’ll get to learn about this first hand in Tokyo with a fascinating Taiko drumming class, where you’ll learn to master the rhythmic art of this pulsating form of percussion music. These drums were used as early as the sixth century, most likely during military action and religious ceremonies. In more modern times their significance has remained, featuring regularly in theatrical performances and even social justice movements. Having spent a morning on the drums, you’ll then spend an evening in one of Tokyo’s most entertaining karaoke bars – when in Rome!
