Music Centres: History
The Lambeth Music Service has been running the Lambeth Junior Centre for Young Musicians at Bonneville Primary School since 2001. During this time over 500 children have taken part in Instrumental lessons and ensembles at the Centre. Some pupils have gone on to the London Centre for Young Musicians at Morley College.
In September 2006, LMS made some exciting changes to the Saturday centre, as well as opening two new centres - one in the north of the borough on Saturdays and one in the south on Tuesdays after school.
The Music Centres will offer a wide range of instrumental and vocal ensembles and lessons for pupils to make music together with friends, improve their skills, give public performances and work with other musicians.
Students have the opportunity to work alongside professional musicians, to take part in special projects and to participate in termly public performances.
The new centres will be open to all children at Lambeth state schools and will have a range of ensembles specifically catering for children with previous musical experience, as well as ensembles open to beginners.
