As well as
learning a range of
musical instruments, young people also get the chance to play together in
ensembles on a number of different occasions, including The Royal Norfolk
Show and in end of term concerts, which are often held in The Carnegie
Rooms, in Thetford town centre.
Through
the generosity of many sponsors and the appropriate use of small group
teaching, the Project is able to offer these opportunities at a fraction of
the usual cost - up to no more than £7 for a lesson and ensemble
session.
The project also offers Foundation Lessons for its
younger and less experienced members. These are aimed at Year 4 children who
want to learn an instrument but don't quite know which one to choose. They
will learn some of the basic principles of music and get the opportunity to try out instruments in
brass, woodwind, singing and string workshops to help them make an informed
decision about which instrument to take up.
We hope this
website will be of interest to those who would like to join us as well as to
present members using the calendar or reviewing past events.
