At the moment, Duxford Saturday Workshop is operating from the Duxford Community Centre rather than the Primary School. This lovely new building has 2 large halls which allow us to hold ensemble music-making safely in these challenging times. We are able to have a timetable which incorporates 4 ensembles per Saturday morning, taken from the list you can read about below.
Children only
Mini-workshop Group
Years 1 and 2. Musical games, clapping and singing with an emphasis on experimenting with sounds and having fun.
Music Theatre Group
Year 3 and above. The focus for this group will be the staging of a musical production in the summer term.
Junior Music Club (not currently taking place 2020-21)
