Instrumental Workshops are designed to complement the tuition pupils have in their instrumental lessons. They aim to motivate young instrumentalists in the early stages of learning and, under the guidance of specialist experienced tutors, to develop and reinforce the good playing habits which are essential for making further progress.
Workshop members will study a wide range of music, in unison and in parts, and develop creativity through improvising. Activities will cover the musical skills needed for playing in more advanced groups.
Most of the time will be spent with instruments of the same family but occasionally different workshops will be combined to give pupils the opportunity to rehearse and perform as part of a larger group of mixed instruments.
Joining a workshop is the first step to achievement in, and a lasting enjoyment of, playing a musical instrument. Workshops for strings, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments meet on Saturday mornings from 9.00am to 10.45am at Croydon Young Musicians. Part of the session includes a vocal workshop where the voice is used as the basis for developing musical skills and a deeper understanding and enjoyment of music. Pupils have the option of joining the Voice Works choir and staying till 11.00am. |
