Dear Parent/Guardian, With the schools currently closed to the majority of pupils, the Minshall Music team are committed to continue providing an opportunity for brass lessons. We are offering online lessons to all of our brass pupils through ‘Zoom’. This is an app, similar to Skype and Facetime, which connects to any device with a built in microphone/camera. The advantages of Zoom are that it provides a clear sound and video quality and connects via a meeting ID. In order for online lessons to be successful a good internet connection is required. If you would like to sign up to online lessons with either Neil Raisbeck or Sam Raisbeck please get in contact with them using the following email addresses: Mrs Raisbeck – minshallmusicsam@gmail.com Mr Raisbeck – minshallmusicneil@gmail.com Lesson prices will be the same as usual however we will give each child a slightly longer lesson. You will have already paid for a lesson that was due to happen on Friday 27 th March. If you would like to use this lesson to have a taster of what it’s like online then we will be happy to offer this. If you then wish to continue after the Easter holidays we will invoice you direct from Minshall Music, instead of the school office. We have trialled this at other schools earlier this week and it has been very successful – we currently have over 40 pupils now using this service. If you do not wish to sign up to the online lessons then still feel free to get in touch and we can provide you with some resources to keep the brass players playing. We also plan to share music activities on a regular basis on our Minshall Music Facebook page, for the benefit of all the children who are at home. https://www.facebook.com/Minshallmusicltd/ I hope you and your family stay safe and well at this difficult time. Many thanks, Samantha Raisbeck
