Clap For Our Carers

This Thursday at 8pm, as part of the national ‘Clap For Our Carers’ campaign, various music organisations have called for musicians up and down the country to get their instruments (or voices) out and perform ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ from their doorstep. Below is a simple arrangement for up to 3 instruments (so the family can get involved if there are several players in your household) – next Thursday, the National Youth Orchestra and other youth music organisations have called on their members to play the ‘Ode to Joy’ from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony – I will post a similar arrangement here prior to that.

Keep Practising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all – I hope everyone is ‘surviving’ during these trying times? Just a reminder to all students to keep practising so that whenever we do go back to school we can all hit the ground running both in terms of individual performance and the ensembles/bands.

To help with this, the Royal Marines are going to be streaming live masterclasses given by their top instrumentalists (11am on selected days) – I strongly urge students to try and get involved in the relevant sessions – details below:
