Return of Hired ELLSO Instrument

Return of Hired ELLSO Instrument

 

We hope that you have enjoyed using the ELLSO instrument that you have been hiring for the last year, and that this facility has helped you to decide that playing in an orchestra is definitely for you!

As you know, we have a limited number of instruments to hire out, and so priority is given to the next intake of new Stage 1 players.

2025 Annual Review - Saturdays

Thank you for participating in our Annual Review.

Your comments will be used to help us ensure that we continue to meet members' needs when planning the  programme.

The information that you supply will be passed verbatim to the tutors concerned, but will be kept strictly anonymous. Constructive criticism is always helpful, as are ideas which come from our members.

Possible new Musicianship Option

The ELLSO Board is considering offering a new Musicianship option during session 3 next term, in place of the Singing group that currently runs.  This would be aimed at Stages 1, 2 and 3 viola players, to give extra support in playing together.

Before we make any futher plans we would like to know whether there would be any interest in such a session, and would be very grateful if you could please let us know what you think by 12th May - no need to reply if you will be moving up to Stage 4 in September!
