Swavesey Music School was founded in 2009 by Audrey Caldwell, former Director of Music at Swavesey Village College. The intention was to enable students to \u2018speak the language of music\u2019 as they started out in life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Swavesey Music School aims to provide students of all ages and abilities with the opportunity to learn the language of music and use it appropriately.\u00a0 By learning in an environment conducive to music making, pupils become comfortable with using a language that will last a lifetime whether they become professional musicians or lifelong amateur enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Learn to speak the language of music<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open the lungs, open the ears and let the spirit soar<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Big Sing for those aged 7 to 77 years 10.15 am to 11.00 am<\/strong><\/p>\n

An excellent way of combining the reading and use of music theory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is for students aged 7+.<\/p>\n

Students in \u2018Big Sing\u2019 sessions, will develop their singing and listening skills, through unision and part singing.\u00a0 They will experience many styles of music which are designed to open the lungs are ears, and let the spirit soar.\u00a0\u00a0 This provides an opportunity for developing ensemble skills which are vital for any aspiring musician.<\/p>\n

Music Theory 09.30 am to 10.15 am
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The basics that make up the musical language \u2013 staves, clefs, sharps, flats and note values and all the symbols peculiar to music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By mixing the theory and lively interactions and listening to theory at work, pupils will be able to create their own tunes from an early stage, building steadily on their musical vocabulary.\u00a0 Classes are arranged in increasing levels of difficulty, catering for all ability levels.<\/p>\n

The Big Orchestra 11:00 to 12:00 pm
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This starts at 11:00 and is a welcoming and inclusive group for orchestral instrumentalists. We currently have members from beginners to advanced standard. This group has an enthusiastic number of adult instrumentalists of all abilities playing along with our younger members<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joining together with other musicians to produce a performance is rewarding and exciting at all levels, a time when the sum is greater than its constituent parts. The repertoire ranges from classical to popular music.<\/p>\n
