23rd March 2020

Dear Members,

Covid-19 update for BMS Members

Further to the escalation of the Covid-19 virus and following the government’s advice, we will be closing the school from today, the 23rd March 2020, initially for one month. We will keep you advised of any ongoing changes.

We are however, hoping that we can accommodate most of our students, via an on-line link i.e. Skype or email. Our tutors will be contacting you directly, to see if you are interested in this facility.

For those not wishing to participate in the programme, we will endeavour to make up lesson time, once the virus has cleared.

As you are aware, we are a small charity run school and we are hoping that the majority of our students will support us, during these challenging times.

Thank you for support and stay safe.

Yours truly,

Mr John Shaw
Chairman/Founder

CORONAVIRUS

As you are aware, we are in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.

Here at BMS, we take your health very seriously. We will be installing hand sanitisers at every entrance of the school.

Would you kindly use hand wash, on your way into the school, so that everyone will feel reassured. If you are unwell with any coronavirus symptoms, please advise the school and do not attend classes.

We can only hope that things will improve over the coming months, and we will take all necessary precautions in the meantime.

Yours truly,

John Shaw – Founder

Hello,                                       ‘DO YOU WANT TO BE A ROCK STAR’

We are Blackpool Music School, a small charity run music school with a big passion for music.

We have an exciting project starting on Saturday the 22^nd February 2020, at 12.30 pm. The Rock Star project has been put in place to hopefully, ignite young teenagers’ interest in music.  We are targeting the 12 to 16-year-old age range. The students can choose from keyboard, drums, guitar and even vocals. Project is held on a Saturday afternoon for approximately one and a half hours and is open to all teenagers. This is planned to be a fun event and at the end of the course, the group will come together to give a music performance.

Students of all abilities are welcome to apply, so even if they have never picked up a guitar or held a drumstick but are serious about learning an instrument, then get in touch.

This project is part funded, allowing us to offer new members, a place for just £5.00 per week; payments are to be paid one month in advance, by STO.  We have limited places available for a maximum of 20 students.  Project will run, as long as funding is available.

We are expecting an enthusiastic response to this project, so to ensure you can secure a place, please call us at your earliest convenience.

If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact the school on 01253 695398 or via email – musicschoolblackpool@gmail.com.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

John Shaw – Founder
