MUSIC PROJECT FOR CHILDREN
Do you have...
a zest for music?
the sparkle to inspire children?
lots of energy and a sense of fun?
Then you are what we are looking for!
The Music project is a student led project that runs music activities with children at a weekly after-school club, allowing them to learn about music and try playing musical instruments and singing. The project has been so successful that we have been asked to start music sessions at a second after-school club and so we are looking for lots of new enthusiastic volunteers!
The volunteers will help to run games and fun activities around basic music theory and appreciation, as well as singing sessions and teaching the children to play instruments.
You don’t have to be a great musician- all you need is an interest in music and a willingness to get involved. If you do play an instrument that’s even better!
The sessions will be on Wednesday afternoons.
Contact Rosie on r.oglesby@ucl.ac.uk to find out more.
