Every week at the Cambourne Music School over 80 children (aged 7-11) take part in exciting musical activities on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Monday Music School (Flute, Clarinet or Saxophone)

If your child would like to learn to play Flute, Clarinet or Saxophone, you can sign them up for the Monday Music School. We teach both beginners and improvers.

Each week they will:

• Receive a small group lesson
• Enjoy various rhythm-related activities and musical games
• Take part in the Cambourne Music School Band, with music specifically written for beginners and improvers

Sessions run from 4:15-6pm on Mondays at Cambourne Village College – CB23 6FR (not the primary schools), and cost £12 per session.

Please note that you will either need to buy or hire an instrument for your child to use. A good place to enquire is Woodwind and Reed (01223 500442 / www.wwr.co.uk). If you have further questions about how best to do this, please email me (gpage@cambournevc.org)

Monday Music School (Band only option - any instrument)

If your child already has lessons on flute / clarinet / saxophone, or they play another instrument (such as trumpet, violin, recorder etc.) then we would love them to join us on Mondays (4:15pm-6pm) to take part in the Cambourne Music School Band.

They can come along to play any instrument (previously we have had trumpet players, recorder players, violin players, percussion players… but any orchestral instrument is welcome…) We will arrange the music for their instrument, and take into account their approximate standard.

Playing in a band is a great experience, and one of the most fun elements of learning an instrument, so a great activity for them to be part of alongside their instrumental lessons.

Sessions run from 4:15-6pm on Mondays at Cambourne Village College, and cost £10 per session.

Tuesday Music School (Guitars) NEW!!!! & Wednesday Music School (Keyboards)

If your child would like to learn guitar with us, then sign them up to join us on Tuesday evenings (4:15-6pm).

If they could like to learn (or continue to learn) keyboard with us, then they can sign-up to come along on Wednesday evenings (4:15-6pm).

These guitar and keyboard sessions are suitable for complete beginners, and also players who can already play a little, and have been learning for up to three years.

Sessions run from 4:15-6pm on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at Cambourne Village College, and cost £10 per session.

If your child already attends one of the other Music School evening, you are entitled to a further discount.

A keyboard will be provided for the session, but one at home is recommended for practice purposes! Guitar players will need to bring their own guitar with them for the session. A smaller acoustic guitar is a good starting option.

 

ALL Music School sessions are open to:

• ALL pupils who are in Years 2 – Year 6 (in September 2023)
• Improvers, who have already been learning with us
• Improvers, who have already been learning elsewhere
• Beginners, who want to start learning for the first time

We have made every effort to keep the cost of these sessions as low as possible, and there are further discounts available for pupils attending more than one group.

If your child would like to take part but the cost of the sessions is too high, please contact us, as we are very keen to offer some financial assistance wherever we can.
