Manx Youth Orchestra and Guitar Ensemble rehearsals: COVID-19
It is with regret that, after a great deal of thought, we have decided to cancel Saturday morning rehearsals with immediate effect and until further notice. This decision has not been taken lightly but the safety of our students, teaching colleagues and volunteers must remain paramount.
We understand how important music making is to our MYO ‘family’ and will be thinking of ways to keep everyone engaged through these challenging times. Please check our Facebook page (Manx Youth Orchestra), the Music Service website (https://musicservice.sch.im) and Google Classroom groups (currently for secondary school aged students) for updates. We are researching other platforms to make sure all our members can be included in our physically distanced but none-the-less musical socialising and learning.
Be safe, keep playing and stay in touch! We are already looking forward to our next rehearsals and concerts but at this stage we can’t say when they will be.
The Year 5 class recently had their instrument taster session for the on-going Soundstart project. They all had the opportunity to try Woodwind, Brass and Percussion instruments before deciding which they would most like to learn this year.
