How
do you join?
Generally, entry is by invitation through your Brent Music Service
instrument tutor. When they feel you have reached the desired
level on your instrument they will approach you with the opportunity to
join. This ensures that you are at a playing level which enables
you to make the most of the benefits of the Brent Junior Ensemble.
Alternatively,
if you attend a school in the London borough of Brent but are not
currently taught an instrument by a Brent Music Service tutor, you are
very welcome to come for an audition to join. Once you've selected
the BMS Evening Centre which is most convenient for you to reach for the
rehearsal day and time indicated, please contact that Evening
Centre and everything can be discussed to find a way
forward.
If
you don't belong to a school in the London borough of Brent but are
still interested in what the Brent Junior Ensemble has to offer, please contact
us to discuss your options.
Something
to think about ...
The importance of music in every child’s life is unparalleled.
Music provides opportunities for self-expression, creativity and
achievement. By learning an
instrument or learning to sing and participating in musical ensembles,
not only is it fun, but important life skills are developed in problem
solving, teamwork, goal-setting, self-confidence and self-esteem.
The
Brent Junior Ensemble can help you make that difference and make new
friends along the way!
