Junior Music and Access Studies
Music First for children aged 8-11
(formerly known as Music First: Programme 2)
One of two courses run on Saturdays dedicated to giving younger
children a fun introduction to music.
On Music First, all students have a principal study (their main
instrument). Tutors are experts in their field and work with
students to develop musical and technical skills to a good level.
Specialist tuition is offered on:
- Piano
- Strings – violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp and
guitar
- Woodwind – flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone and
recorder
- Brass – cornet, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium,
tuba
- Percussion – timpani and orchestral percussion
To complement individual tuition, there are study groups
focusing on music theory, supporting studies (to develop aural
skills) and a choir where students join together to rehearse an
enjoyable range of unison and part songs.
There is also the opportunity to join the Training
Orchestra/Ensemble, which meets every week.
Entry to Music First is by audition.
There is information about what to expect at the audition plus
preparation tips and an application form in our prospectus. Request
