It’s nearly half term!
One more Saturday of lessons, and then we’re all looking forward to a relaxing two weeks off.

The benefits of singing…and how we can help!
There are lots of reasons why singing is good for you, but one of them is that it makes you feel better! We have two singing teachers at The Latymer Saturday Music Centre, as well as including lots of singing in our Early Ears and Music Maker classes – why not find out more?
Bloomsbury Festival
Lovely to see that one of our teachers, Alex, is taking part in the Bloomsbury Festival. Do come along and support him if you can!
Fantastic start to the term
What a great day we had yesterday! As well as our new teachers, we welcomed many new pupils too. Everyone seems happy with their timetable, and we’re looking forward to sharing the joy of music making for the forthcoming term. We’re so lucky that we get to do what we love.
Welcome to Daria
We have another new teacher to add to our thriving music centre – we are delighted to welcome Daria Phillips to the team.
Daria began lessons on the mini-bassoon at the age of 7 as part of a council run project. She progressed through the various music ensembles within her borough before joining the music course at Junior Guildhall where she held the Bassoon Scholarship and, in her final year, received the Woodwind Prize. Daria has been invited to play with Chineke! Orchestra, an initiative that aims to promote diversity in classical music-making, on numerous concert tours and recordings. She was a Junior Artist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2016-17) mentored by the principal bassoonist, Jonathan Davies. Daria studied in The Hague with Gretha Tuls and at Guildhall School of Music & Drama where she won the Bassoon Prize. Daria enjoys encouraging young musicians to explore the art form and regularly works as a teacher and music mentor with various organisations.
Our bassoon pupils are looking forward to meeting Daria on Saturday!
