ITINERANT NIGHTS
We’ve been lucky to hear many of our students getting ready for the itinerant nights and we know that the itinerant music teachers and students have got some really fabulous items ready! These evenings are a wonderful opportunity for students to gain experience performing, as well as a great opportunity for parents and supporters to see the results of all those lessons and practice sessions and have the chance to acknowledge the specialist teachers who come in to share their expertise with our students 🙂
