Music to our Ears Our aim at Glamorgan Music School is music for all!
We’ve always wanted to give more and have been disappointed by the barriers that have been stopping people, not just children, from learning and experiencing music. We launched on St David's Day with celebrations in Barry town centre including pupils from around the Vale performing, a guitar ensemble and support from Bro Radio and market traders.
Even through the pandemic we have survived and we’re growing. We started trading at the start of term and we’ve moved our provision online to teach children and adults. Our lessons will continue in schools and we teach all instruments - strings, ukulele, guitar, harp, brass, woodwind, percussion, piano and keyboards. We also have full class workshops, orchestras, choirs and teacher training. Along with instrumental tuition we have 6 Music Theory Courses running weekly online with lots of students, young and not young! There is teacher training available online too. We started out as just the two of us and now we have a team with loads of happy pupils. And all of this since we have been in quarantine! We are very proud of what we have achieved.
