The annual Instrumental Day for school bands and orchestras takes place during the summer term. The venue is currently the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, with some sectional rehearsals at nearby Collis School.
Young players and their teachers have the chance to work with professional conductor Keith Marshall and with RMT instrumental Team Leaders. Keith conducts at Phantom of the Opera in the West End and also at St Martin in the Fields as well as our RYCB
The day includes:
- sectional rehearsals with RMT teachers and Keith Marshall
- sharing session where individual bands and orchestras play pieces from their own repertoire
- massed rehearsal and premiere performance of a new piece
Schools can register an existing school ensemble or a group of players who would like the chance to work with musicians from other schools. Parts for the massed piece are written to accommodate players of different levels, from Grade 1 upwards. There is no upper limit and parts can be supplied for advanced players.
