LOVE MUSIC ? So do we - come and join us !
ALL children in or around Enfield and North London are welcome
The Latymer Saturday Music Centre is an independent Music Centre which is
open to ALL children from reception year upwards. Activities take place at The Latymer School
(www.latymer.co.uk), Edmonton,
on Saturday mornings, during term time.
Since it was founded in 1994, hundreds of children in and around Enfield and North London
have benefited from the music education it provides.
Summer term is underway and will finish on Saturday 19 July.
MUSICIANSHIP CLASSES
For 4-11 year olds
(Reception Class to Year 6)
These classes aim to develop musicianship through a variety of musical games
and activities. Emphasis is given to the acquisition of aural skills, musical
literacy and co-ordination, which are so important for learning to play a musical
instrument. INSTRUMENTAL TUITION For 6-18 year olds Lessons are available from a team of highly qualified specialist teachers on the following instruments: Tuition on other instruments can be arranged where there is sufficient demand.
Advice is given on children's suitablility or readiness to play a particular instrument. Instrument lessons are normally offered to children from Year 2 upwards, but for younger
children only certain instruments are recommended. DEMONSTRATION CONCERT This takes place annually and gives parents and children an opportunity to hear, see and try out the instruments
which are offered and also to meet some of the teachers ! ENSEMBLES String and recorder ensembles cater for different levels of ability and provide
valuable experience in playing a musical instrument with others. EXAMINATIONS Associated Board and Trinity Guildhall graded examinations can be taken when appropriate.
The Centre enters a large number of candidates at regular intervals with excellent results. PUPILS' CONCERTS There are regular opportunities to perform at concerts, both formal and informal. One such concert is expected
during the Spring term and two during
the Summer term. These help teachers to monitor
progress, while giving pleasure to parents and friends.
