We are thrilled to be running two weeks’ of fun musical activities 25th-29th July and 1st-5th August in Harpenden.
Week one is full of orchestras, wind bands and ensembles for all ages and stages. This year our group leaders are from the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Northern Music College, a BBC Young Musician of the Year and professional musicians from the top British orchestras, supported by students from the London music conservatoires. Each day also has non-musical, team-building activities to support their development as young musicians. Ages 8-18 years, grades 1-Diploma.
Week two is musicals week. This year is Matilda! Children who play an instrument can join the orchestra to play music from all the musicals and those who love to sing can this year learn songs from Matilda to perform at the end of the week. Some children love to do both! Ages 8-18 years, grades 1-Diploma.
We run Step up to Music for 5-7year olds during both weeks. This year we have an Eco theme which will be the base for all the musical games, songs and compositions that the children will take part in over the course of the week. Children are introduced to the instruments of the orchestra and have an exciting week of music-making that culminates in a concert for their families.
Venue: Katherine Warington School, Harpenden
Time: 9.30am-3.30pm
Needed: Packed lunch, great attitude, an orchestral instrument for week one.
