OCTOBER 2022 HOLIDAY PROGRAMME WRAP-UP
two fantastic days of musicking
Our participants learned basic music theory concepts and ideas through engaging activities and games - from marching around the classroom in different rhythms to even delivering impromptu musical performances to each other! There were plenty of laughs and smiles too. We loved sharing our love of music with you all.
Special thanks to our sister school, Chiron Rock School, for allowing us to use your space for the two days.
our Intensive Music Theory Workshops will be offered annually in october to support more students who are just beginning their music journey.
“Scottie loved that it was a small class and is so proud of her work. THANK YOU!!””
Small group sizes
The small group sizes meant that each participant could receive focussed, one-on-one support from our dedicated tutors.

JULY 2022 HOLIDAY PROGRAMME WRAP-UP
Thank you to everyone who attended our July Songwriting Workshops!
7 budding songwriters came together for two days of intensive and collaborative work, culminating in a performance for friends and family in the Lewis Eady Guitar Showroom.
After so many years of cancellations and postponements, we were thrilled to revive our Holiday Programme offering and look forward to many more Songwriting Workshops in the future.
“The holiday programme was such an incredible opportunity for our son. We were so blown away by what he was taught over the two days.
We loved all the coaching and teaching provided from the song writing through to teaching them how to introduce themselves. Such an incredible experience for all the participants to be able to perform in a safe and affirming environment. They all did so well.
Our son is begging us to come along again next school holidays! We can’t praise it enough. Thanks so much for providing such a great opportunity.”
