Swavesey Music School
The Swavesey Music School aims to provide students of all ages and abilities with the opportunity to learn the language of music and use it appropriately. By learning in an environment conducive to music making, pupils become comfortable with using a language that will last a lifetime, whether they become professional musicians or lifelong amateur enthusiasts.
The Saturday Sing-up
9am – 10am
Ages 4 – 12 years
An excellent way of combining the reading and use of musical theory. All students will join in the ‘Sing-up’ sessions, designed to open the lungs, open the ears and let the spirit soar. This whole approach enables students to mingle with other musicians, providing ensemble experience vital for any aspiring musician.
Kate’s Kindy
9am – 10am
Pre-school
Support your childs early engagement with music and join Kate Woolf for this fun session full of singing and musical games.
Rockin’ Rhythms
10am – 11am
4 years upwards
The basics that make up the musical language staves, clefs, sharps, flats, note values and all the symbols peculiar to music. By mixing the theory with lively interactions and listening to the theory at work, pupils will be able to create their own tunes from an early stage, building steadily on their musical vocabulary. Classes are arranged in increasing levels of difficulty, catering for all ability levels.
Junior Orchestra
11am – 12noon
All levels and ages
Joining together with other musicians to produce a performance is rewarding and exciting at all levels, a time when the ‘sum is greater than its constituent parts’. We are aiming to put together a variety of instrumental groups from beginner through intermediate to advanced. The objective is to provide coaching in the skills of playing together, leading, taking musical decisions and performing. Alongside this, ensembles of any size and instrumentation can come along to play with other musicians – we aim to foster an environment that provides opportunities for all regardless of age, ability, instrument or musical style. All are welcome!
Rock School
11am – 12 noon
9 years upwards
An engaging opportunity for young people to develop their musical skills.
This session is designed to give rock musicians a taste and feel for the development of Rock Music: music appreciation, performance skills and how to establish and develop your own band.
Swavesey Music School is only £3.50 per session. Next term starts Saturday 10th September. For more information please contact Audrey Caldwell at Swavesey Village College or visit the website.
