"My son's motivation for playing cello has gone through the roof since joining the Greenwich Music School orchestra and playing with other children. The teacher/conductor is truly inspiring. He ensures the kids reach their full potential by keeping them on their toes and boosting their confidence. I can't wait to see the Christmas concert and I would highly recommend the experience to other children who are serious about playing."

"Our daughter has started with the junior Orchestra and has got so much from it in just a few weeks. Her flute playing has improved quite dramatically. She has had to up her playing and learn new things. It has been challenging for her but she loves it and has thrived on it. The teacher Dan is really brilliant and keeps the children on their toes. The historical Charlton House and grounds make it a lovely venue in which to learn."
