Annual ASCA Summer Concert Saturday 1st July 2023

Our annual concert took place on Saturday 1st July with two concerts taking place. Over 70 pupils performed across the two concerts and it was a wonderful, supportive atmosphere for all involved. It was lovely to have so many performances from different instrumental disciplines from Reception to Year 10. Many of our younger primary students felt inspired by the performances of the older students from Abbey College.

We thank Andy Scrase for his work on the sound desk to ensure that the concerts ran smoothly and of course a big thank you to tutors who support their students on the day.

We are very much looking forward to the next one!

STRINGS

We are now able to offer violin lessons in all of our schools due to the recruitment of a violin teacher as of September 2023. Violin is a rewarding instrument to learn with benefits such as improving reading, language processing and speech skills!

PIANO

This is our most popular instrument across all our schools.  We have a variety of tutors teaching piano including a specliast Jazz pianist as well as tutors who specialise in classical piano. Piano is also often used by students who are studying GCSE/BTEC/Level 3 qualifications and they find private tuition very helpful in the practical element of their studies.

DRUMS

Drum lessons are available at Abbey College, Earith, Somersham, Warboys and Ramsey Juniors. If drum lessons are not available at your childs school and you wish for your child to learn please contact Vicky Scrase.

WOODWIND

Woodwind is a popular instrument and we have a teacher offering lessons in flute, clarinet and saxophone in some of our schools. We also are able to give recorder lessons to those who wish to learn the instrument. This is sometimes chosen as a precursor to another instrument or can be chosen as instrument by itself and taken to an advanced level.

SINGING

This instrument is growing in popularity in both boys and girls across the age groups. Our students range from youngsters wanting to sing their favourite songs to those wishing to go in to theatre and learn audition pieces or study for singing exams. The lessons include vocal technique, a wide range of repetoire and a chance to learn to sing in public if they wish.
