One-to-One 6th June

The new format One-to-One's last summer were really successful, with players and families sharing their positive feedback with us about these listening and feedback opportunities with the conductors. Your individual playing and singing is at the centre of all the ensembles at Derby Music Centre, and we would like to share this with you. This year, the One-to-One's will be on Saturday 6th June at Derby Music Centre, a 15minute dedicated time slot for all Intermediate and Junior players, although we are unable to listen to singers this year. This is the best way for us to share your achievements and progress, and to help us to plan for next year's ensembles. We aim to maintain balance in all the groups, so that there are strong players to support those just coming into the groups, and to ensure all instrumental parts are covered where possible. We also want to make sure that all our players are in the best groups for them to thrive and grow with their music making.

Our Groups has full details of the suggested ability range for each level from beginners, juniors, intermediates and seniors.

Intermediate and Junior players will be allocated a time by Mel for 6th June. If you aren't available on the 6th please let us know. We would like to hear one piece or a couple of extracts from your current pieces from the appropriate grade level. During your One-to-One you will receive feedback and advice from one of our conductors and they will discuss any changes to your ensemble timetable from September 2026.

On 6th June there will be no intermediate wind, or any clarinet ensembles. No intermediate flutes or intermediate brass. No orchestra or senior strings.

However, all other groups will go ahead as usual - if it's not on the list above, it's happening as usual.
