Wind players should be grade 6 and above. orchestra on an occasional basis. Practice parts are given and it is of great benefit if students could look at them during the week beforehand. Some might need to take their music to their teachers for a little extra help. This orchestra benefits of the additional wind section which enables us to play repertoire like Haydn and other classical Symphonies. This year we are looking at Schubert’s First Symphony, themes from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and pieces by Elgar and Purcell. YMC Junior Orchestra only- £15.50 YMC Junior Orchestra and ensemble- £27.10
