Summary
The Garnock Valley Pipes & Drums are a group set up to provide free traditional music education to young people in the Garnock Valley.
The group currently engage around 30 students each week to learn the bagpipes and snare drum, from as young as primary four up to sixth year at secondary school.
This project not only allows young people to learn a new instrument completely free of charge, but also focuses on helping the attendees develop their confidence and social skills, developing their connection to one another as well as the wider community.
Description
The project runs along with term time, with lessons after school in half hour blocks for groups of up to five.
The tutors are paid at a rate of £40.50 per hour, and work a combined three hours each week.
40.50x3 = £121 per week.
This fund will provide tuition fees for our tutors. The feedback we have had from this project so far has been fantastic, and is only possible with continued funding & fundraising efforts.
I will upload a file documenting the feedback we have had from the first few months of the project.
