Dear all,
Music Makers Junior Choir will hold its inaugural rehearsal on Monday 7th September, 4.00 to 4.30pm in The Youth Centre at St Clement’s Church, Edge Lane, Chorlton, M21 9AE. It’s for 3 to 4 ½ /5 year olds and is designed to build on the musical awareness that we foster at Music Makers and provide an introductory year’s experience into the world of personal music making. (I will be setting the room up earlier in the day on Mondays and coming over with my daughter from her school so won’t be at St Clement’s much before 3.45/3.50, so please don’t go away if you beat us to it!).
Important point to mention. All children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to these sessions. Once we get going you may be able to arrange amongst yourselves for different people to bring friends together etc. The important point is that because we are dealing with such young people, they must remain technically in their parents care in order for these sessions to be viable.
I want to run Music Makers Junior Choir on a subscription basis. There are several reasons for this. Firstly we’ll be moving into the realms of developing individual musical skills within the group. A regular commitment to attend as often as is possible helps with building this work.
Secondly, safety in numbers. I expect and know that young people’s confidence and skills will grow through the year. Initially however, we do need to have somewhere “for people to hide” within the group that will become our choir so we need to be sure of numbers. Thirdly, once word gets out about what we’re doing, the results we’re getting, and the fun we’re having along the way, I’m expecting the choir to become oversubscribed, so I need to know that I have the commitment from people attending.
If want to join our choir please get in touch and I’ll send you a booking form.
I’m very excited to finally have the created opportunity to return to this work – I trialled the idea with my daughter’s nursery class four years ago and it really works.
I hope to see you there, please feel free to phone or email with queries or questions. Owenlittle9 AT gmail dot com 07970 956575.
Cheers
Owen
