LMP Voyager – Schools & Education

Inspiring the next generation and changing the future of music education

As one of the original pioneers of orchestral outreach work, LMP has enjoyed a host of relationships with schools and music hubs across the UK, working with many teachers and heads of music to inspire the next generation of musicians and music lovers.

We collaborate with schools to produce inspiring educational programmes, experiences & workshops that help support the National Curriculum.

To find out more about the projects we offer, download our brochure below or get in touch with Tegan Eldridge on tegan@lmp.org.

DOWNLOAD OUR SCHOOLS BROCHURE

For 25 years the LMP have been working in collaboration with primary schools across the country, leading exciting projects that introduce younger children to classical instruments in a fun and interactive way. We run tailored workshops, concert demonstrations and bespoke projects that inspire creativity and get younger children involved in performing.

As professional musicians, LMP members are uniquely placed to enhance the study of performance, and in particular ensemble work. Even if the majority of young people do not go on to study music or continue to play their instrument, there are many skills and attributes that are developed through ensemble playing that will serve them throughout their studies and professional lives.

Our secondary school projects are designed to enhance existing musical provision and offer students exclusive masterclasses, performance workshops, composition and academic projects and chamber coaching from our talented musicians. Our visits and projects are completely bespoke and tailored to your needs.

If you would like to receive an extended copy of our LMP education brochure or you have an inquiry about a project, please contact Tegan Eldridge, Outreach and Development Manager at tegan@lmp.org

Some of our Past Education Projects

  • Peter and the Wolf

    Adam MacKenzie led a project with Lincolnshire Music Service to work with children from schools in Lincolnshire, to create their own music based on the motifs featured in Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. These compositions were then interwoven into a performance of Peter and the Wolf, given by the LMP at the South Holland Centre in Spalding, at which all of the schools involved were in attendance.

  • Side by Side in Shepshed

    Led by composer/animateur Fraser Trainer, this project worked with seven primary schools (around 90 children) in Shepshed, Leicestershire, to help them build a new youth orchestra for the area. For one week, Fraser and LMP musicians worked with the children, split into three groups, to write their own piece of music. Fraser also arranged Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King to include performers of all ages and abilities.

    At the end of the week, at an LMP Family Music Concert in Shepshed hosted by Alasdair Malloy, all the young people played their pieces as part of the concert, and then joined in with the whole LMP for Fraser’s arrangement of In the Hall of the Mountain King for a grand finale. It was a huge success, and proved a great way of getting everyone to play together and to inspire the young musicians with what it feels like to be part of a big orchestra.

  • Fly Away Mozart

    The inspiration was the celebration of 100 years of flight and the part that Southampton Airport has played in the history of flight, including the first test flight of the legendary Spitfire plane. Led by Michael Omer, students from Woodlands School in Southampton took Mozart’s experiences and the inspiration for flight to create a new musical work over four weeks. The première took place in the main terminal of Southampton airport on 27 January 2011, making a connection between the teenage Geoffrey Wellum, the teenage composer Wolfgang Mozart and the students, themselves all teenagers bursting with new ideas. It featured a song “I Have Touched the Sky” and a rap called “Two Different Lives”, highlighting the contrasts between young Wolfgang and Geoffrey. The performance was featured on local BBC television and shows that you really can perform music to anyone, anywhere!

We have been very lucky to be part of such a super project yet again. It was a very skilfully thought-out project which was well organised and supported by the LMP office staff.

Vicky Hemmings, Atwood Primary School

‘The children loved the interaction with the musicians (awe and wonder all round) – something that it would be near impossible to facilitate in ordinary circumstances.’

Shelia Smith, Monks Orchard School
