Great idea Uckfield Brass Wish we had known about it. Hope it went well. Would any of you like to join us in Uckfield Community Orchestra on a Wednesday evening? Do you have any youngsters who need to play in another #ensemble broadening their musical experience? #community #music #brass

If you're in the #Wealden/#Lewes area you might like also to join Uckfield Community Orchestra where we have a very talented front desk of students leading an all-age all-ability #orchestra. #WillWilkins from West Sussex Music is rehearsing us for 3 schools' visits and a #Christmas #concert

We would love some youngsters to join Uckfield Community Orchestra where we have a very talented front desk of #Students leading our all-age all-ability #orchestra. Young and not-so-young #playing and #learning together. Nothing better!

Our two #student #leaders are talented #violinists from Uckfield College Music Department and we would love to have more players from local schools to join them and us. We have a talented young conductor in #WillWilkins who hails from West Sussex Music . The more, the merrier!

What a gift. Music gives lifelong pleasure. I know someone whose first instrument was a toy piano found on his doorstep and he is now an inspiring leader of music making wherever he goes. Music is for everyone, young or not so young. Uckfield Community Orchestra #musiceducation #sing #play

I went to a rehearsal tonight feeling deflated & sick. Ten minutes into the rehearsal I felt rejuvenated & better than normal. Music is therapeutic and healing. I want all young people to experience the educative & holistic power of music. How can we not! didgeproject.com/therapeutics/d…

Improvisation is one of the most undervalued & misunderstood pedagogical techniques in Music Education. It is as beneficial to the student to learn as it is to the teacher to learn how to teach. The benefits to both far outweigh the initial challenges & trepidation. Have a go.

SC said “There’s no doubt that … in singing and taking part in a choir, and … learning … teamwork, loyalty, punctuality – you learn a lot of life skills. So I would just say, ‘Get out there and sing!” and I add, get out and play too if you have an opportunity! #Sing #play

In our latest blog, City of Bristol Brass Band MD Ian Holmes and 3rd Cornet Joanna Pearson reflect on the initial stages of their 2019/20 #AdoptaComposer collaboration with @LShipsey. makingmusic.org.uk/news/adopt-com…

If you are in the Uckfield area, why not give Uckfield Community Orchestra a go. We are an all-age #orchestra focusing on Grade 2-Grade 5 learners, offering the enjoyment of #playing in an #ensemble with an aspiring young #conductor. Wednesdays 6-8pm. You'll be very welcome. #brass #woodwind

What an incredible #ensemble this is. Truly #inspirational #aspirational #musicmaking

Looks great. Could Uckfield Community Orchestra come to your Fair next year to play #carols for you all?

Uckfield Community Orchestra likes the sound of that - "music played by community members who are not necessarily professional and who play for everyone in an accessible venue" Come and join us in the New Year. Wednesdays, 6-8pm, Foresters Hall, Harcourt Road, Uckfield.

There is no activity or shared endeavour more inclusive or bonding than ensemble music-making. People of all ages & walks of life coming together to share in a common & collective purpose, all while expressing themselves, growing together, & connecting through the joy of music.

This is exactly what Uckfield Community Orchestra is about: adults & children sitting alongside each other, connecting & learning through the joy of making music #musiceducation #CommunityEngagement
