Make Music Virtual Programme
Make Music Virtual Christmas Party!
Seasons greetings one and all! We are very happy to invite you and your families for music and merriment at this year’s virtual Christmas Party!
Whether you’ve never joined an online class before, or you’ve been attending classes at Sage Gateshead for years, this is a great way to meet our music leaders and fellow music makers.
Throughout the party enjoy carols and Christmas songs led by Eleanor Mooney and Phil Davids, a Christmas quiz, and most excitingly, a share a song segment which gives you the opportunity to unmute yourself to sing or play us a song. Christmas attire very much encouraged!
Share a song
If you would like to take part in the share a song segment please email phil.davids@sagegateshead.com. Limited spaces are available.
About our Virtual Programme
Our virtual classes are fun, informal and suitable for players of varying ability, with options for those who fancy a bit more of a challenge. There’s no pressure and nobody will be asked to sing or play solo!
When you sign up, you will be able to access a link to the online class, along with any other information and materials you might need, by logging into your Sage Gateshead account here.
>> Take a look at our handy step by step guide on how to join our online classes.
In preparation for your virtual class, we would recommend that you wear comfortable clothing, have either enough space to stand or be in an upright chair as possible, bring a drink to stay hydrated, and perhaps something to make notes if you might find this helpful.
If you have any questions about the class or would like to speak to a member of the team please contact learning@sagegateshead.com.
We hope you enjoy singing and playing together!
Photography/Filming
During the term, we may wish to film or photograph part of the class to share on Sage Gateshead’s social media to show others what a great time we’re having and encourage them to join us! All participants will be notified in advance and have the option to be excluded from any filming/photography.
A Future for Live Music in the North East
We know how important singing and playing are and we’re pleased to be able to programme these classes. Right now, we are seeing increasing levels of need in our community. Many people are experiencing social isolation, struggling with their mental or physical health, missing out on their musical education, or simply craving the incomparable magic of live music.
We want to help and need to raise £3 million to ensure we’re able to continue delivering classes like these, but can only do this with your help. We recently launched our three-year Crisis, Recovery and Renaissance fundraising campaign in response to the urgent financial challenge posed by Covid-19.
If you are able to make a donation of any size to help us continue to ensure everyone has access to music, we would be eternally grateful. Learn more here and make a donation.
