Join RCM Sparks for a junior version of our friendly and creative Springboard Composition Course.

Participants will work imaginatively with a team of young RCM performers and composers to collaborate and create a brand-new piece of music as a group.

There’s no requirement to be able to read or notate music, just a real passion for creativity and an open attitude to making music alongside others. This course is suitable for beginners or more advanced players, from all musical backgrounds and styles. The new piece will be performed and recorded at the end of the course.

The sessions will run from 10.30am-4pm, with suitable breaks for snacks and lunch. Participants are asked to bring a packed lunch and their instrument (if they play one).

Timetable:

Ages 6-9
10.30am-1.30pm only
Please note there will be a performance at 1pm on the final day of the course
Ticket cost: £75 

Ages 10-13
10.30am-4pm
Please note there will be a performance at 3.30pm on the final day of the course
