NORTH LEEDS MUSIC CENTRE ORCHESTRA
Our Training Orchestra currently consists of about 40 players ranging in ability from beginners up to about Grade 3.
All orchestra and band instruments are catered for, including recorders.
Many of the members attend our own tuition classes at NLMC. However, players who are new to the Centre are equally welcome. No previous orchestral experience is needed as full instructions are given!
We play a variety of music from classical to pop and even favourite pieces arranged specially for the orchestra. Much of the music has been specially arranged so that it can be played by musicians of all ages who are in the first few years of playing their instrument.
We have great fun in our rehearsals, and there are opportunities to learn about all the other different instruments, as well as the one which you play. You can even have a go at conducting the orchestra if you wish! Movement between orchestras is possible during the year and members may play in more than one orchestra, using different instruments.
There are opportunities for playing in concerts both at the Music Centre and elsewhere.
We have sectional rehearsals from time to time to concentrate on improving wind, brass or string techniques.
It really is easy to join us, you don't need any experience, just your instrument and some enthusiasm. For anyone interested in playing percussion with us, we supply the instruments.
