The majority of our instrumental groups are by invitation only. As soon as the child has reached a certain skill level on their instrument, they will be invited to join a suitable junior group. As well as having the fun of playing with others, the children learn valuable skills and widen their experience. Most children progress to the more senior groups, including orchestra and wind band or Samba Band once they have shown the necessary commitment and attitude. All our music groups work towards regular performances.
