Join the expertly renowned Rachel Leach who will also be joined by two London Symphony Orchestra musicians for a hands-on creative session demonstrating how to use orchestral repertoire in the classroom and keep music sessions creative!
Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 and Strauss’ Four Last Songs both feature settings of poetry about life, death and visions of paradise. We will use the music to inspire our own words, which we will then turn into music using a simple method that can be transferred onto any subject matter, genre and stimulus.
