Wonderful new music project at Nicholas Chamberlaine school

A wonderful new music project is all set to launch in September 2019 at Nicholas Chamberlaine School. A new partnership between the Griffin Schools Trust, Warwickshire Music Hub and the Music in Secondary Schools Trust (MiSST) will create amazing opportunities for young musicians. 

MiSST already leads major music projects in London based schools and this exciting new project will be their first outside of the capital.

Headteacher Dr. Louise Newman says; ‘This is such an important mission for the Nicholas Chamberlaine community.  It is about empowering our students and enabling them to be confident and creative learners. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Warwickshire Music and the Warwickshire Music Hub to support the MiSST vision and curriculum’.

240 year 7 students will be offered the chance to learn one of a range of instruments, all provided by the Warwickshire Music Hub.  The school music team will work alongside specialist instrumental teachers from Warwickshire Music to provide every child in year 7 with a comprehensive music education and the opportunity to learn an instrument and play in an orchestra.

Director of Warwickshire Music, Jeremy Dibb, says; ‘We are very pleased to support the vision of The Griffin Trust and the work of MiSST. This is such an important statement about the value of music for young people in schools and we look forward to launching this initiative with a visit by the National Youth Orchestra ‘Inspire’ ensemble in July’.
