Youth Orchestra & Band Courses Christmas 2011

We are pleased to tell you that the Christmas 2011 Youth Music Courses are taking place, organised by The Bedfordshire Music Trust with support from Central Bedfordshire Council and Bedford Borough Council together with Friends of Bedfordshire Youth Music and Bedfordshire Orchestral Society.

We plan to run three orchestral and two band courses between 17 – 21 December. Unfortunately, we have not been able to schedule the 4th Orchestra course this term although current 4th Orchestra members are still requested to complete the form provided with the course letter (that will be arriving with students soon) as we hope to be able to offer a 4th Orchestra course during the spring term.  4th Orchestra members may also audition for 3rd Orchestra for the Christmas Course (see course letter for further details).

As with the Summer Courses there will be no transport provided but we have tried to choose course locations that make travel as easy as possible. To help with car sharing arrangements the Friends of Bedfordshire Youth Music are facilitating a car sharing information scheme through their web site: www.fbym.org.uk. Information can be found by following the links on their home page and using the password supplied in your course invite to enter a secure area.

The courses can only function if sufficient students register to take part so please do book your place as soon as possible so we that we can confirm numbers.  Depending on numbers we may combine some of the groups. However, we will endeavour to keep you/your child in a group of equivalent standard.

In cases of financial difficulty, the "Friends of Bedfordshire Youth Music" organisation may be able to support your application.  The Friends are keen to help all those who might be eligible for financial support to attend the Youth Music courses, including those struggling to make ends meet while involved in Higher Education. Should you require financial assistance, please make an application direct to FBYM at www.fbym.org.uk.
