Music at Home

Due to the continued school closures, all CMS instrumental lessons have ceased in school. However, the CMS will continue to support music in the borough by providing resources to both pupils at home, and those remaining in school.

Details can be found here.

More material will be added over the days and weeks ahead, so please check regularly.

The music service office will be closed but the service can be contacted via the email

cmsoffice@lbbd.gov.uk

Please note, the phone will not be monitored.

Additionally all planned events, including the Spring term Ensembles concert 30^th March and the Recital Evening 2^nd April are cancelled.

We apologise for the disappointment that this decision will cause but the health and safety of pupils, parents and staff of the CMS is of the upmost importance to us.
