Income should never be a barrier to children learning to play an instrument. That's why social action programmes like Sistema Norwich are vital. By prioritising music lessons for children with less opportunities, they are combatting a growing inequality in music education.

Tarren hit Norwich on Saturday, in the lovely ambience of the Octagon Chapel. norfolkcommunityarts.org.uk/events/event-1/ fb.watch/j-xIccHpjV/ via @FacebookWatch

Coming to the Octagon Chapel in Colegate in April! We think this will be well worth a look!

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! 😍🙏🎵

Week 2 of the new Sistema term, so we hope everybody now is back in the swing of things. Our new students have all been assigned instruments, so now the real fun begins! 🎻🎺🥁😄

It was great to welcome our Da Capo students back for the first session of the new term, and for them to find out, after last term's Musical Carousel, which instrument they will be playing with us! 🎵🎻🎺🥁

📢Opportunity alert! 📢 @YN_AF are looking for a Finance Manager to join their team! Find out more below 👇

🎼 NEW BLOG: Up on the website today, our Administrator James talks about the privilege of being invited to take part in the students' End of Term Concert.🎵🎵 norcasistema.org.uk/post/blog-my-s…

🎉 A huge congratulations to our Sistema in Norwich ensembles for a fantastic pair of end of term concerts. The hard work and dedication of both students and our tutor team resulted in a wonderful performance enjoyed by an invited audience of family, trustees and guests. 🎵

We were delighted to receive a visit from members of the Pulham Orchestra last week. They have, in an amazing act of generosity, donated a double bass to our orchestra, which ensures we can continue to offer the full orchestral experience to our students. 🎻🎵 #SistemaInNorwich

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?

Listening to the Youth Orchestra play downstairs as I cover the Saturday shift, and to these untrained ears, they sound amazing. #SistemaInNorwich

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! 🎵🍰🎵 For info and tickets 👉 ticketsource.co.uk/hethel-church/…

Huge congratulations to three of our students who have been successful in gaining a 🎵 music 🎵 scholarship to the City of Norwich School! We are really thrilled for you and wish the best of luck to Lilly (double bass), Alina (violin) and Remy (clarinet).
