Move It Music 2008
Move It Music 2008 was even more exciting and action-packed than last year’s successful course.  A variety of fun tutors offered a range of workshops and activities such as a crazy choir, composing with computers, instrumental ensembles, have-a-go instrument sessions and a surprise workshop.  The week concluded with a heart-warming performance to family and friends.

Move It Music 2007
The 2007 course featured djembe drums with Sheila Stocking, brass with Jim Tucker, strings and crazy choir with Gill Walshaw, wind with Hannah Riches, Steel Pans with Raul Gomez, Pastoral support from Karen Bennett and a Maori Music workshop (indiginous people from New Zealand) showing us how to dance and make poi's that we all took home.
There was also a masterclass where the children performed solos and duos to each other, and a final performance to parents on the last day.  There was also some beautiful artwork created by the children during the week.  Congratulations to course participant Stevie on winning the Beethoven Brain-Box Test!

The week was great fun and enjoyed by all.  Come and join us on the next course

Comments from Parents and Carers
‘I wanted to express my admiration and thanks for Gill and her colleagues at the Summer School. Social education doesn't get any better than staff that are kind, committed and expert’.

‘my daughter,very much wants to come back in 2008.  Thank you very much’. 

‘I was impressed by what you had managed to achieve in just a week with the kids! And to expose them to such a variety of music was really good too. The singing at the concert was great. I liked the teachers very much, they obviously have a talent for bringing the best out of children.. We will be eagerly waiting to hear about the next course’.

 ‘It would be nice if the course ran for 2 weeks, as my son enjoyed it very much.’

‘Feedback from the kids was very positive, the best holiday programme so far!'

From the Children

‘I liked it when we played new pieces on the violin’

‘I enjoyed the steel pans because I hadn’t done it before’.
