North West Teachers’ Centre at Strathfoyle in Derry has played host to a three-day Music Summer School hosted by the Western Education and Library Board’s (WELB) Music Service.
Over 60 talented young musicians, from primary schools across the WELB area, took part in the event which offered a platform for primary five-seven pupils to gain access into the world of music making and enabled them to develop their musical talents under the guidance of experienced music service staff.
Each child got the opportunity to participate in a diverse range of musical workshops and a variety of musical activities with string, woodwind, brass, guitar and percussion instruments.
Each day was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon, and culminated in a captivating concert finale for family and friends at the Play Trail Amphitheatre in Derry on the last day.
Naoimh Simpson, WELB Music Service Area Coordinator for Derry and Limavady, said: “The final concert celebrated the talents of the young people who performed with such enthusiasm and enjoyment. I want to congratulate all performers involved for their commitment to the concert and to all those that aided in the smooth running of the summer school.
