Ground-breaking music project at Nicholas Chamberlaine features on BBC Midlands today

Earlier this year we shared information about an exciting new music project set to take off at Nicholas Chamberlaine School involving 278 Year 7 students, over 300 orchestral instruments and four specialist instrumental teachers (if you missed it, you can read the previous article here).

The ground-breaking project, which in just five weeks has seen a remarkably positive response from students and parents, is the result of a partnership between Warwickshire Music Hub, The Griffin Trust and the Music in Secondary Schools Trust (MiSST). Musical instruments have been provided free of charge by Warwickshire Music and instrumental teachers drafted in to work alongside music staff at the school. 

It has been such a success that BBC Midlands Today recently paid a visit to Nicholas Chamberlaine to see the project in action. If you missed the first airing of this on 17 October then you can watch it back by clicking the link below:

We are very much looking forward to seeing where this exciting new project leads in the months to come and will keep you posted here!
