Play Along for Children's Orchestra

Due to the pandemic BlueJam’s Children’s Orchestra has had to be put on pause. However, Richard (who leads the orchestra) and his family – along with BlueJam video editors – have put together a series of videos where you can play along with popular Children’s Orchestra tracks. 
 
Would your child like to join Children’s Orchestra when we are back face to face? We meet on Saturday mornings during term time at BlueJam Arts Space in Penrith. Contact us to let us know.
