The Bridge Orchestra is a foundation orchestra open to all instrumentalists taking lessons with BMS who can play a few notes on their instrument. Rehearsals are intended to be run in a less traditional orchestral setting. We will have fun with creative projects, composing, improvising and improving music reading skills. Bridge Orchestras are designed to prepare pupils to join the BMS Junior Ensembles when they are ready and to support them through the initial stages of learning an instrument.
