           CPD, resources, workshops and events
         Access to a large stock of instruments, including sets for whole classes at a subsidised rate
         Training and support for classroom teachers in primary and secondary schools to improve the teaching of
           music
         A network of county level orchestras and choirs and grants for regional youth ensembles
         Opportuni es to perform in large scale events, including cluster projects and fes vals
         Opportuni es to work with professional musicians from all over the world in workshops and masterclasses

Free support for singing in your schools
As part of the Hub’s ongoing Vocal Strategy we are offering schools the opportunity for free support through
the School Engagement Vocal Outreach Workshops, with the aim of visi ng every primary school in Cornwall
over the academic year.
These free one‐hour vocal workshops, usually for Key Stage 2 pupils, aim to help schools with their own vocal
development and are delivered in school by one of the Hub’s Vocal Leaders. The workshops are specifically for
teachers or vocal leaders who are keen to con nue to improve the quality of singing in their own school,
already have a choir they wish to develop or are looking to set up a choir.
The School Engagement Workshops will be arranged to suit each school through discussion with the Vocal
Leader. There will then be an opportunity to discuss with them any par cular areas of support in terms of
vocal development. In addi on, all par cipa ng schools will be given a free 12 month membership to Sing Up
and support to become Cornish Singing School.

Our team of Vocal Leaders are now contac ng schools to arrange visits but please
           contact the Hub office if you would like to arrange a visit ‐

Ensemble update
       Cornwall Youth Brass Ensemble at
        Interceltique Festival in Lorient
    In August, the Hub’s county brass ensemble, CYBE, had the privilege of
    spending a week at the Fes val Intercel que in Bri any, led by Sara
    Munns and Jax Kershaw. Here’s one member’s account of their trip!
    On Friday the 3rd of August, we set off from Camborne at the lovely hour
    of 05.15! A er a very quiet bus journey to Plymouth we boarded the ferry
    to Roscoff and our adventure had started. Upon arriving at the stadium of
    the Intercel que Fes val in Lorient we went straight into rehearsals for the finale, with bagpipes and drums. The next day,
    Saturday, a er a CYBE rehearsal we had some free me which some of us spent at the local beach. At 21.50 we regrouped
    ready for our first Stadium concert, in front of thousands of people. The experience was amazing and I'm sure I don't just
    speak for myself when I say that it will never be forgo en. On Sunday morning we woke up at 6.40 hours to make our way
    to the start of the Grande Parade. Upon arriving at the start at 8.30 we were told that our ensemble wouldn't be se ng off
    un l 11.15….. Despite the heat and lack of sleep, the parade was an extremely enjoyable and a rewarding experience. The
    streets were consistently packed from start to finish, the crowds were clapping along to our music and we even managed
    to get a few ‘Oggy, Oggy, Oggys’ ringing around the streets of Lorient! We finished the day off with another performance
    in the stadium. On Monday, we had a performance at ‘Espace Marine’ and we had no idea what to expect! Upon arrival
    we saw a huge marquee and soon realised that was our stage! The crowd was possibly the biggest crowd CYBE has ever
    performed in front of, but the concert went really well and there was a lot of applause at the end. We then had some free
      me, some people went to the beach and others explored the fes val. In the evening, our only evening off, we got
    together for a jolly sing song and dance in the Cornish tent! Tuesday morning and a ernoon were free me again, with a
    mini parade in the evening. We paraded around the streets near the fes val and finished in the Cel c stands. Later, we had
    stadium performance number three of five, but this me it was being filmed for na onal television! The finale of the
    performance involved everyone, and the very last piece was Land of our Fathers (Welsh na onal anthem) sung by
    Pendyrus Welsh Male Voice Choir, along with us, a French brass group and a lot of bagpipes! On Wednesday we took part
    in the mini parade again in the a ernoon this me we played ‘Bound for South Australia’ outside the Cornish tent. Our
    stadium performance was accompanied by rain! We went on for the finale as per usual but this me we had to spend our
    half hour of standing and a few minutes playing, in the rain and ge ng cold. Everyone rose to the task brilliantly. Our last
    day, Thursday, turned out to be our busiest day so far. We started the day off by visi ng a re rement home to give a
    performance of all the music we had been playing throughout the week. On the no ce board it said we were also going to
    be dancing so Sara quickly made it clear that there would be ‘pas de danse’ (no dancing!!). Four of us then went to perform
    at the fes val garden party, a very posh performance accompanied by oysters and champagne! The day ended with our
    final stadium performance and the fireworks went up another level, unfortunately causing a bit of damage to nearby trees!
    On Friday, we arrived back at Plymouth at 21.30 and departed for Cornwall on our bus. The tour was over but we’d made
    some memories that will stay with us for a life me.

                Triggshire winds
Triggshire Wind Orchestra was formed in 1984 by the current musical
director, Janet Elston, with the aim of providing young musicians in the North
Cornwall area with the opportunity of ensemble playing and performing. The
orchestra plays a wide variety of music and has regularly performed
throughout the County including the Royal Cornwall Show. The ‘Shire of Trigg’
was an old administra ve area da ng back to the early medieval period and
stretches down the north coast from Bude to Padstow whilst also
incorpora ng the inland moorland villages.
The orchestra has also performed at various venues outside the County
including West Buckland School, Bristol, and the Isles of Scilly. Triggshire
Wind Orchestra and Triggshire String Orchestra have most recently made a
tour of London where they played at Southwark Cathedral, Hyde Park and
performed for schools in Lewisham.
Trigg recently rehearsed with the Royal Marines. Everybody really enjoyed it
and the Marines were very impressed by how our players sight read and
performed. We are hoping that this may encourage a future career for some
of our players in the marines as It was lovely to see one of our previous
CYWO principle trumpet playing with them. Two Trigg Clarine sts' also got
the opportunity to play for Camilla and Charles during their Duchy Visit.
Triggshire rehearse weekly on a Wednesday from 5pm un l 6.30pm at
Sir James Smith School in Camelford. If you are interested in joining

    Many thanks to Looe Primary Academy for agreeing to host the Music day at very short no ce a er a last minute change in
    venue was necessary. The children from Trenode and Looe Primary Schools sang their hearts out , enjoyed playing and
    exploring both Steel Pans and brass instruments.
    Congratula ons to all who took part in the hugely successful Roseland EMI/ CMEH Music concert at the end of last term in
    Truro Methodist Church.. The concert was the culmina on of two terms’ work with Tregony, Gerrans and Probus Primary
    Schools and the Roseland Academy. Each Primary school received a term of curriculum and general musicianship lessons
    followed by a term of whole class instrumental lessons and singing lessons with the aim of encouraging an increase in the
    number of children taking up an instrument. The concert was a truly wonderful occasion with individual contribu ons from
    each of the primary schools as well as some collabora ve singing with the excep onal voices and ,indeed playing , from the
    Roseland Academy students. The success of the project has meant we are able con nuing to work with the same children to
    move them on s ll further.
    Another fantas c occasion was held in Launceston Town Hall in July. This concert was the culmina on of a wonderful
    collabora on with the interna onally renowned Dante Quartet and three of the county string ensembles. Caradon Strings
    and Triggshire Strings joined together with the Dante for a performance of Four Short Pieces by Bartok . East Cornwall Youth
    String Orchestra and the Dante, a er listening to and playing some of Bartok's original recordings, gave us a magnificent
    rendi on of The Romanian Dances.

                 First Access ‐ introducing your students to
                            instrumental learning

The Hub is able to offer grants to schools to fund a music specialist to deliver whole class instrumental lessons.
The grants are available to fund a 12 week programme called First Access which aims to introduce students (and
their teacher!) in Key Stages 1‐3 to learning an instrument.
The programme consists of:
        An ini al planning mee ng with the classroom teacher and music leader
      10 weekly 45 minute whole class lessons (students should learn the same instrument each week)
      A review mee ng with the classroom teacher and music leader
The grants are available for any classes who have not previously benefi ed from the scheme (schools can access
for more than one class). Schools will need to iden fy a suitable deliverer for the sessions and also source their
own instruments. The Hub can assist in this as we have a list of teachers/organisa ons who are able to deliver
First Access and also sets of instruments which can be hired at the subsidised rate of £70 per set per term.
                                    Further informa on about the programme and how to access the funding
