Musicians Enjoy Foundation Orchestral Workshop

Designed to develop and stretch music and performance skills, pupils worked under the guidance of the schools' Directors of Music, Susan Olden and Julie Barnes, to prepare and rehearse a mixture of pieces ready for an afternoon performance.

The children relished making music, especially in such a big group. They worked hard to prepare two challenging pieces, Bright Eyes by  Mike Batt and The Fossils by Saint-Saëns, both pieces testing the players’ technical and music-reading ability.

The day finished with a short concert for parents where five soloists also showcased their musical skills.

The workshop was a great opportunity for them all to play together. Thank you Crescent School for an excellent day.
