South West Music School

Description

South West Music School provides a package of specialist educational support consisting of mentoring, individual tuition and development and residential projects, plus the opportunity to be involved in programmes and projects delivered by the partnership.

07/08 is our pilot year and we will be selecting 15 young people. This will rise over the next few years to a maximum of 45 musicians by 2009.

South West Music School has been developed and is overseen by a unique partnership comprising of Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Dartington Plus, Federation of Music Services, South West, Wells Cathedral School and Wiltshire Music Centre.

Due to the geographical nature of the South West we are not building based but are a ,virtual' school working with young people on an individual basis in their local area.
