Live Music Workshops and concerts encourage children of all ages and abilities to

overcome barriers

...and above all – have a really good time!

polished performance presentations featuring clarinet, saxophone, flute and recorder

a wide range of repertoire (classical/jazz/popular/tv themes)

timbre (exploring sounds)
