School Music Workshops

Each year Sound Waves South West organises professional Workshops for schools in the SWSW catchment area. The professional groups are chosen and introduce children to a wide range of culturally diverse music and the group will carry out workshops throughout the day for a whole week at the various schools that have chosen to participate, giving a total of around 15 workshops (2 each morning and one in the afternoon).

2025 Workshops

This past week several schools in North Cornwall were treated to truly magical performances of "The Nutcracker" "The Monkey Puzzle" and "Wind in the Willows" by Toscana Strings. Children in all schools were captivated by the live music and mesmerising Ballerina which bought the classic stories to life in a way they will never forget. The feedback from all schools was that is was a wonderful experience which the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed.
