Back in November, our friends #ClarinetCascade had a concert for which they very kindly donated half the door to us. Yesterday, Cas and Carla dropped by to present us with a cheque, as well as a clarinet and some music stands for us! 😍🙏🎵

Our #SistemaInNorwich students make use of the @PracticeSpace_ app to track their practice time. We can share lessons through it, award prizes and incentivise our students outside of lessons. As we all know, practice is essential! Is your child signed up yet?
A reminder that our friends Clarinet Cascade are performing at Hethel Church on Sunday 20 Nov, 2.30pm, and are donating half the proceeds to us! 🙏🙏 And there'll be cake! 🎵🍰🎵

The Da Capo orchestra held their second performance last week, in a decidedly 👻 Spoooooky 👻 atmosphere.
🧌 Luckily, the vile-ins, terrifying tromBONES ☠️ and percussion-that-goes-bump-in-the-night didn't scare away our audience, who all had a fangtastic time! 🧛♂️
This week is your last chance to register for our Da Capo beginners programme for this year. If you have a child who is interested in becoming part of an orchestra, sign them up! Sessions are 4.15-6.15, Tues & Thurs! 🎵

We are over the moon with the recent donation to #SistemaInNorwich of this fine (and well-travelled, from the Middle East to the Caribbean and back!) spinet piano. It's an invaluable addition to our inventory and is already seeing plenty of use.🎵
Our thanks to the Doré family.
A HUGE thank you ❤️ to our friends Clarinet Cascade who are generously donating half the proceeds from their concert at All Saints Church, Hethel on 20 Nov to NORCA & Sistema 😮! Sounds like a fine way to spend a Sunday afternoon! 🎵
