Our brand new training orchestra welcomes all orchestral instruments (plus Cornets and Euphoniums) and will meet for ten rehearsals per year alongisde our Concert & Symphony Orchestras. 

​

Participants should be 9 years old and over and Grade 3 standard.

Playing in the orchestra will help young players to develop their ability to work together as an ensemble by exploring light orchestral music and

taking part in fun musical activities.

​

After spending some time in the Training Orchestra players will be expected to progress to the Concert Orchestra when they reach a suitable standard and

vacancies occur. Concert Orchestra players should be grade 4 standard for most instruments.

The Training Orchestra is directed by Jude Carter, one of our experienced woodwind tutors who leads a range of youth ensembles and is a qualified Primary teacher.
