The beginner orchestra curriculum in Year 7

Our students have had an excellent first few weeks, making fantastic progress in their respective Woodwind, Brass, Upper Strings, and Lower Strings classes. The most impressive thing is that a large number of students are spending considerable time outside of lessons practising, and this is naturally helping them to excel with both their music theory and the application of that theory.

Over the coming months we will be inviting in specialist musicians to work with our students in a series of masterclasses before we bring the students together in order to create two orchestras. We look forward to inviting parents and friends in to school in the summer term in order to celebrate the successes of all students in a public performance.
