Any new orchestra leaders out there?

Wylam Institute, 10.30am - 4.30pm

One of the ways that the Cobweb Orchestra has been able to expand the amount we offer over the last year has been the development of professional group leaders (as in conductors rather than lead violinists). People who express an interest in becoming Leaders must first attend an induction day (at a cost of £25) and then join the Leaders' Group which meets roughly every two months. Once people are sufficiently able and confident, they can take on the job of leading sessions and are remunerated at our standard rates of pay.

There has been continued interest from within and from outside the orchestra and so we are running another induction day on Saturday 28th June 2008 at Wylam Institute (10.30am - 4.30pm). There are still a couple of places free, so please get in touch with me if you are interested in becoming a Cobweb leader.
