hi being in year 10 ive got to do work experience on the summer
i've had various ideas but only a few sound interesting -
follow a music teacher-boring i know what a music teacher does
play in an orchestra- not sure- do they accept people - is it interesting?
play in a pit orchestra- i like this idea but i dont know where to start - i want to go some where such as the london paladium

any more ideas
please help

sound engineering workshop?

Hey Jonny,

You know I was thinking along the same lines...don't quite know what I'm going to be doing yet!!

If you are quick, the LPO are doing an orchestra in a weekend in brighton, where you will be coaches and will play alonside members of the LOndon Phil playing mahler 6 ( thats me on 4th bassoon then ) however, this is taking place in feburary.

there are heps of summer schools you could try, also lots of music festivals eg Dartington take on students to help, and you get a great time hearing concerts, talks, joining in at lots of different musics - they have Balinese gamelan, contemporary music, music theatre, as well as all the more mainstream courses. Great fun, and you'll get to meet some amazing people too.

hey mee too!!!
but I'm in year 11 and have to get work experience pretty sharpish!!
does anyone know of anyone/where I could go to for work experience in early July??

I have to do work experience next year so I'm following this thread with interest- there does actually seem to be more you can do than I thought at first.

I did my work experience last June, but did not do anything in the field of music. Could you sit in on an orchestra's practice session or anything like that?
