Social Service Music
Some of our more talented musicians perform at local care homes, schools and residential centres in town. These mini-concerts are performed for the benefit of residents, staff or children.
Aims
To improve the lives of local people through music and performance.
Background
The project has been around for many years. Each year the school is approached by a number of local partnerships who request that our pupils perform so the delivery of the project varies year on year.
Resources
Musical instruments are provided by the school or in the possession of the individual pupils. Academic staff and other support staff lend their help to assist our pupils to practise their pieces. Music staff will then drive the pupils to the various venues each week.
Impact
Feedback from partner agencies is always extremely positive!
Pupil Involvement
14-18 years old.
Frequency
Weekly, on a Wednesday afternoon between 2.00-4.00pm although other concerts may take place in the evenings when required or asked for by members of the community.
