Holidays at home
should be about fun and discovering new things but they are also a great
opportunity to learn some new skills and improve existing talents. Sage
Gateshead Summer Schools are the perfect way for children and young people to
do just that. From singing to conducting, creating a band to playing
instruments there are loads of courses on offer for all ages and abilities.
Young players and
conductors can be inspired to take their first step in music making and reach
new heights with a range of courses delivered at Sage Gateshead as part of the
Festival of Youth Orchestras season from 28 July to 1 August. Musical
games and the chance to make and play their very own string instrument is the
focus of Young Foundations for 4-5year olds. There are summer schools for
string, woodwind or brass and a course for would-be conductors aged 16 to
21. Create a Band is perfect for aspiring rock and pop stars aged 8 to 16
as they can create new music, record a CD and even perform at this iconic
venue. Participants will also be able to take advantage of a free
ticket to one of The Festival of Youth Orchestra season evening concerts.
