Welcome to St. Matthew’s Music Club - Theory is fun!
Starting this term, CAMS Music Trust, will be running an after-school Music Club A great opportunity to supplement
young musicians’ education – whether they are already learning an instrument and don’t find time to do the
accompanying theory – or whether they just want to broaden their musical horizons in the company of other, likeminded, musicians.
Music Club is a 1-hour, fun-packed session of musical activity - open to all children and young people aged 7-18. Activities
will include:
 Music Gym – a warm up for all participants – rhythm games, singing excercises and general musical skills
 Theory and General Musicianship training (for beginners and up to “Get your Grade 5 Theory" classes)
 Composition, improvisation and general musicianship
Most students join as beginners and all that is required is a willingness to learn and join in.
