Why do amazing singers suddenly appear? They work hard, sing passionately and have a great time! The young singers on our Summer Singing course were joined by the Kent Youth Choir for this gorgeous rendition of '(They Long to Be) Close to You' at Summer School this year. We think you'll agree that whether they're experienced singers or only just starting, they all sound just beautiful. Want to get in on the singing fun with us at Kent Music? Check out our blog on why we love singing and get involved! www.kent-music.com/news/five-reasons-we-love-singing/

KMSS Summer Singing 2023 Teaser - Part One

Summer School, we're still Thinking About You! Luckily we've still got these gorgeous videos from the Summer Singing concert to keep us going until music-making starts again in a few weeks. Keep your eyes open for part two later today! 😍

KMSS Songwriting 2023

Our Song Writing course at KMSS is a unique musical course that lets young musicians collaborate and progress individually. Every year their final Benenden concert is full of surprises, delights and a whole lot of talent! Watching this video, you'll have to agree that this year is no different. Got the song writing bug but can't wait for next summer? Lucky you - the Music Lab in Folkestone and Thanet run weekly in term time. They are creative spaces at our Music Centres for young people aged 11-19 to work on band development, music technology and production, singing and instrumental skills, songwriting and more! Find out more here: www.kent-music.com/music-labs/

There are three intensely busy days every year at Summer School, where we welcome the Jazz, Summer Singing and Song Writing courses all at once! It was an incredible and music-filled time when young musicians lived, rehearsed and performed together at the beautiful Benenden School. First, let's celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our 24 Jazz musicians who performed a beautiful end-of-course concert - it was a night filled with jazz, fun, and memories to last a lifetime!

What happens when music, dance and talented secondary school pupils meet in a creative collaboration? At Create in a Day we found out. We loved everything about this project - it was a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with secondary schools and the Jasmin Vardimon Company and see the amazing creativity of young dancers and musicians.

For the final part of the Summer Strings concert, we explore how - despite the name - Summer Strings isn't just about strings. Players also form a course choir to fully round their musicality! Led by Lead Teacher Daniel Moulton, we hope you agree that they sound just wonderful. We have plenty of opportunities for string players, including Allegro Strings (Gravesham Centre), Prelude Strings (Thanet Centre) and Junior Strings (Medway Towns Music Centre). For more advanced players there's also the brilliant West Kent Youth Orchestra in Tonbridge! Explore them all through our Music Centres page: buff.ly/3Baubex
