3 FOREWORD Sutton Music Service (SMS) is now part of the Children, Young People and Learning Directorate (CYPLD) of the London Borough of Sutton (LBS), within the Education, Learning and Intervention Service. Sutton Music Service has just relocated to new premises at Gaynesford Lodge, Blake Close in Carshalton and provides advice and support for schools, parents and pupils on all aspects of music education. In November 2011, SMS received the National Plan for Music Education and was invited to submit an application to Arts Council England (ACE) to become the hub lead partner for Sutton. SMS was informed that it was successful in this bid in May A successful application to the Mayor s Fund for Young Musicians (MFYM), allowed SMS to run 2 joint projects with Croydon Music and Arts and the London Mozart Players, culminating in 2 concerts, a Mahler concert in October 2011, which included Sutton Youth Symphony Orchestra and Croydon Youth Orchestra, with the London Mozart Players at Fairfield Halls in Croydon and a schools concert in May 2012, working with Fraser Trainer and including WCIT primary schools from Sutton and Croydon and musicians from the Young Musicians Orchestra, Croydon Youth Sinfonia and the London Mozart Players, also at Fairfield Halls. One Sutton pupil was awarded a Scholarship by the MFYM and receives financial support for lessons, ensemble membership and additional music activities. Further applications for additional MFYM scholarships for Sutton pupils have been made this year. Lessons at SMS Music Schools remain hugely popular. Saturday Music School has been running at full capacity for several years and Wednesday Music School has continued to expand to meet further demand, with 3 additional teachers now employed for violin, trumpet and saxophone lessons. SMS ensembles continue to expand and now have the highest levels of attendance recorded. As part of the spring concert week, SMS ran the first Sutton Young Musician of the Year competition, with a concert held for the finalists. SMS also ran a joint wind bands concert with Kingston Music Service at the Rose Theatre in Kingston, involving all the bands from both Boroughs. Two popular weekend music and activity weekends were organised for the KS1 and KS2 orchestra and band members and 81 young musicians from Sutton Youth Symphony Orchestra and Sutton Youth Wind Orchestra enjoyed a tour to Lake Garda in Italy during July Nigel Hiscock Head of Music Service September

9 4. Saturday Music School Saturday Music School was established in January 2000 with funds from what was then the Department for Education and Employment (DfEE). Based at Wandle Valley School, the Music School provides lessons on viola, double bass, oboe, bassoon, french horn, trombone, baritone, euphonium, tuba and percussion. There is also a Percussion Ensemble which is open to pupils who are having lessons on percussion at Saturday Music School or elsewhere. The highly subsidised cost of 50 per term also incorporates theory and aural tuition as well as instrument hire where necessary. All pupils are required to join a borough ensemble after a period of two terms' tuition. During the year 11 tutors delivered 1171 hours of instrumental tuition to 97 pupils and a further 200 hours of theory and aural training were given. It is anticipated that the school will expand further, an additional viola teacher will be employed from September 2012 to provide further opportunities for further tuition, increasing the capacity of Saturday Music School to 105 pupils. 44 Saturday Music School pupils took instrumental or theory examinations, an increase of 21 pupils from the previous year. The results were Fail = 3, Pass = 12, Pass with Merit = 14, Pass with Distinction = % of pupils passed with merit or distinction, an increase of 18% from the previous year. Due to the ever increasing size of the Saturday Music School the format of the end of term concerts was adjusted. Each tutor was asked to nominate just two pupils to perform. This meant that concerts were still varied in terms of instrumentation and ability but were now of a more suitable length. 21 pupils performed in the Spring Concert which was held on 31 st March and 22 performed in the Summer Concert on 7 th July. The Saturday Music School Percussion Ensemble performed in both concerts In addition to the theory tuition provided at Saturday Music School, theory lessons are also provided on a Monday evening at Wandle Valley School. There are two mixed ability group sessions in which pupils work are their own rate with assistance from the teacher. All pupils eventually work towards achieving Grade 5 theory, which, for some exam boards, is a prerequisite for taking the higher practical grades. The first session takes place from 4.15 to 5.00pm and the second from 5.00 to 5.45pm. The cost is 45 per term. 16 pupils attend these lessons throughout the year. 5. Wednesday Music School Building on the success of the Saturday Music School, SMS launched the Wednesday Music School in September 2009 with the aim of providing tuition on instruments not currently available at the Saturday Music School. Based at Wandle Valley School, the Music School now provides lessons on violin, cello, 9

10 flute, clarinet, saxophone and trumpet at the highly subsidised cost of 50 per term. As with Saturday Music School, all pupils are required to join a borough ensemble after a period of two terms' tuition. The school began in September 2009 with 3 tutors and 15 pupils. Since then the school has continued to expand and demand remains high. During this academic year 11 tutors delivered 900 hours of instrumental tuition to over 74 pupils at Wednesday Music School. It is anticipated that the school will continue to expand, an additional cello teacher will be employed from September 2012 to provide further opportunities for tuition, increasing the capacity of Wednesday Music School to 84 pupils. 32 Wednesday Music School pupils took instrumental examinations, an increase of 22 pupils from the previous year. The results were Fail = 3, Pass = 12, Pass with Merit = 14 and Pass with Distinction = pupils performed in the annual Wednesday Music School Summer Concert on Wednesday 4 th July. 6.

11 Mayor of London s Fund for Music In collaboration with Croydon Music and Arts (CMA) and the London Mozart Players (LMP), SMS successfully bid for a grant awarded by the Mayor of London s Fund for Music. This funding enabled pupils from SMS to participate in two separate projects which consisted of a number of workshops culminating in two performances at Fairfield Halls in Croydon alongside musicians from Croydon Music and Arts and the London Mozart Players. The first project was specifically for youth orchestra pupils from Sutton and Croydon with the aim of providing an opportunity to perform large scale repertoire that each Borough would not have resources to achieve separately. 51 pupils from SYSO formed a combined orchestra with members of CMA and were coached by members of LMP. The combined orchestra was conducted by Hilary Davan Wetton and gave a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich s Festive Overture, Concerto Grosso by Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Gustav Mahler s Symphony No. 1 at Fairfield Halls in Croydon on 28 th October. The second project was aimed at pupils in intermediate ensembles and those who had just started learning an instrument through the WCIT scheme. Composer Fraser Trainer was commissioned to create a brand new piece based on the River Wandle, which flows through the Boroughs of Croydon and Sutton. The piece consisted of 4 songs for massed choir and WCIT instrumentalists and two movements for intermediate orchestra made up of pupils from YMO and Croydon Youth Sinfonia (CYS). The songs were also accompanied by a small ensemble of LMP and staff from SMS and CMA. Pupils from Cheam Park Farm Junior and Dorchester Primary worked with Fraser Trainer and poet Dean Parkin in four separate workshops to create lyrics and backing music for two songs. Pupils from Cheam Common Junior, Robin Hood Junior, St. Mary s RC Junior and Westbourne Primary joined with schools from Croydon to form the massed choir. Songs from A Secret River received its world premiere in a concert at Fairfield on 4 th May to pupils following the WCIT scheme. The combined orchestra of pupils from CYS and 46 YMO pupils performed music from Pirates of the Caribbean by Klaus Badelt, as well as Jules Massent s Meditation from Thais and Trumpet Tunes by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Jeremiah Clarke and Henry Purcell featuring soloists from the LMP. The concert was repeated in the evening to an audience comprised of parents, headteachers, governors and invited guests. Concert Weeks All 7 SMS Ensembles performed in the end of term concert weeks held at All Saints Church, Carshalton. 11
