WOMAD prompts new music academy

Saturday 27th September 2008, By Standard reporter

Youngsters can take their first steps to stardom when Malmesbury’s new music academy is showcased today. Inspired by participation in the last two WOMAD festivals, children have been so keen to take up music, signing and dance that demand for provision in the area has rocketed. As a result teachers have set up the academy, which meets on Saturdays at the new primary school building. Within two weeks of term starting courses are already over-subscribed and waiting lists have been formed.
