The Saturday morning orchestra session is the core of all ELLSO's activities. Sessions run from 9:15am to 1:15pm every Saturday morning during school term time (see the Calendar for the dates of each term).

We arrive at the PDC by 9.00am (see How to Find Us for a map and parking details) and are ready to start playing at 9.15.

See here for a detailed timetable of the Saturday morning session.

The Orchestra divides into four 'stages' of abilities and the first thing is to decide which one to join.

Stage 1  Absolute beginners
Stage 2  Players who have spent a year at Stage 1
Stage 3 Players who have spent a year at Stage 2
Stages 4 & 5 More experienced players (typically, Grade 4 or higher standard)

If you're unsure which stage you should be in, ask a tutor. If you find that the stage you've picked is too hard or too easy for you, feel free to move to another stage at any time.
