UTT has had a long-standing relationship with the Birdsong Academy and this affiliation has managed to continue during the pandemic. Aidan Chamberlain of UTT’s Academy for the Performing Arts, is conducting weekly brass lessons to the low brass players at Birdsong, to keep them going while face to face lessons are not possible.
The weekly sessions are being facilitated via Zoom in addition to using the excellent online music practice tool, Smartmusic, where students can view sheet music and record their progress. Maybe we will be seeing these students at UTT in a few years time!
