Join RCM Sparks for a junior version of the Springboard Course, where participants collaborate with young RCM musicians and composers to imaginatively create a brand-new group piece.

No music reading or notation skills are required – just curiosity, creativity and a willingness to make music with others. Open to beginners and more advanced players from all musical backgrounds, the course culminates in a performance and recording of the new work.
