Monday – Senior Rock Band - Currently Full

This club is entry by audition only and cannot be signed up for on MCAS. Spaces are limited, and currently we are only looking for guitarists and vocalists. To audition, children need to prepare a short piece of music. Vocalists can sing unaccompanied or with a backing track. Guitarists can prepare a short piece of strumming or a solo. Guitarists need to have had experience on the instrument and preferably lessons.

The current Rock Band is full for this year

Tuesday – Choir

To audition, children need to prepare a short unaccompanied song to sing. Simplest is always the best! Pop songs are not always a good idea, since these often do not show children’s voices to their potential. A song sung at their previous school is always a good idea

 

Thursday – String Group (run by Mrs Nunn from Kent Music 

Currently Full.

This club is open to any child wishing to learn how to play bowed string instruments. No prior experience is necessary, although it is beneficial. Children are encouraged to buy and use their own violin but can use a school violin for the sessions - unfortunately, we do not have the facility to allow these to be taken home.

Those who are already members already have a place and do not need to apply. If your child has a place from last year and does not wish to continue, please contact me via email so that the place can be given to another child

Wednesday – Percussion Club -12.30. Run by Graham Smith from Thanet Drum Tuition - Starts 20th Sept

A brand-new club opening up the world of percussion. I guarantee this will be fun! Open to all. No instruments needed, just a sense of adventure.

Once a club is full, others who have signed up will be added to the waiting list. Each year the waiting list from the previous year is cleared, so please don’t wait to apply for a place. Our lunchtime clubs are flexible. Depending on uptake, they may change during the year.
