I am very pleased that after a successful interview in the summer I have been added to the Extra Musician list at the Big Noise project at Raploch in Stirling (bassoon & oboe!). Raploch is the home of the first Big Noise Orchestra - the first orchestra of its kind in the UK, modelled on, and working closely with, El Sistema from Venezuela.
Big Noise in Raploch operates from the Community Campus on Drip Road with children from the nursery, Our Lady’s Primary, Raploch Primary, Castleview Primary, Wallace High and St Modan’s High. The orchestra is also open to Raploch children who attend school elsewhere.
I have been in working with these children on numerous occasions now and I am finding it very rewarding. I also benefited from working closely with Simon Rennard, their excellent double reed tutor, during my training.
I look forward to working more with these children and this exciting project in the future.
