Kids don't often get the chance to hear live music so we're organising these projects to get out there and really fire their enthusiasm for learning about music and picking up an instrument.</p> <p>The performances will be very short -- only around 30 minutes, and constitute perhaps a couple of brief pieces and a basic explanation of how you got interested in music and what you enjoy about playing.</p> <p>It's short, it's easy, it's flexible, it's enjoyable and it's a great way to get involved in the amazing work that CaMEO does --- transport will be FREE and you can organise with the schools directly for a time in your busy schedule that suits YOU.</p> <p>*** If you're interested please drop me a message - <a href="mailto:performers@mus.cam.ac.uk">performers@mus.cam.ac.uk</a> *** </p> http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/516#post-537 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:41:13 +0000 ab243 537@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ <p>Violin and viola wanted for Piano Quartets March 9th 2012 - Friday at 7.30pm.
