This year, Mead school were invited to join
in a scheme to give pupils the chance to work with professional musicians,
undertake workshops and perform in a concert in London. They were loaned
instruments and had six, two hour workshops after school. The project
culminated in a concert with The London Chamber Orchestra at Cadogan Hall,
London.
The pupils all worked very hard and, I am
pleased to say, all of them persevered to the end. It was quite tough during
the workshops as many of them had not played the instrument before. The end
result was a fantastic concert in a famous London venue in front of a large
audience. This whole project helped to develop self-esteem and confidence as
well as foster an interest in playing an instrument.
The following pupils took part in the
project;
