Streatham Music Centre

In January 2008, Lambeth Music Service will be starting a new after-school project at Dunraven School for students with an interest in rock and pop music. The course will run for ten weeks each term, and will provide an opportunity for musicians to play in groups. There will be an end-of-term concert at which everyone will perform.

As well as getting practical playing experience, you will also receive a thorough grounding in other musical techniques from professionals with industry experience– eg how to work in a musical group, understanding composition, arrangement, improvisation, history and context of rock music, and more.

This course is not aimed at beginners. To be considered, you must:

  • Be in years 9 to 11
  • Have your own instrument
  • Be able to play it to a degree of competence
  • Be receiving lessons for your instrument

All potential students will be auditioned on their instrument to ensure that they reach the entry level. You do not have to be excellent, but you must be able to show that you are aiming to improve in a proactive manner.

If you are not currently receiving lessons for your instrument, you will need to arrange for this to happen. There may be an opportunity for you to receive lessons in school, or through an LMS tutor as part of the course (please note that this would cost extra).

The course cost for each term is £45. This covers the cost of 10 sessions of 90 minutes, as well as the final concert. Reduced rates apply for students from limited income families.

Note that there is also an application/admin fee of £5. This is non-refundable and contributes to the cost of running the auditions and administration.

These sessions are NOT individual instrument lessons. You must already be having lessons in order to take part!

To apply, you will need to get an application pack from your school’s music department, or directly from Lambeth Music Service.
