Music Bandz is an instrumental group (orchestra) for children who have an understanding of notation and rhythm and have been learning a musical instrument for at least a year. Children must bring their own instrument to rehearsals. Our classes aim to build children's confidence playing, developing skills on their instrument and learning to rehearse and perform as a group.
We also welcome enthusiastic complete beginners and are able to offer a range of tuned percussion for use in the class.
Our music is differentiated to suit all abilities and to ensure everyone is able to play at their level with confidence. Notation can be colour coded to assist different learning styles. The children read their music from a musical score, projected onto a centralised screen. This helps , helping them play together.
Music Bandz offers a modern choice of repertoire as well as some classical favourites, that the children will know and hopefully enjoy. To date this has included themes from Dr. Who, Star Wars, James Bond 007, Carol of the Bells, 'Bad Guy' by Billie Eilish, 'Superstition' (Stevie Wonder), 'Everybody Needs Somebody' (Blues Brothers), Pachelbel’s Canon, Paganini’s Caprice No 24, 'The Avengers- End Game', Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and many, many more.
