TOP25 is a three term programme for complete beginners aged 7 to 11 yrs old (Yr3 to Yr6). It includes:

The Tomorrow’s Orchestra Programme has been designed to take students on a journey from absolute beginner to orchestral musician within a few months, as well as introducing them to the thrill of playing together on stage.

We are no longer accepting applications for our 2025 Tomorrow’s Orchestra Programme (TOP25), unless applicants already have a basic understanding of music and can play at least one note on their chosen instrument.

If you’re interested and would like to get in touch, please email us at music.centre@westsussexmusic.co.uk

TOP25 runs for three terms from January to December. The first term is free* and terms 2 and 3 just £75 per term.

*There is a one-off non-refundable booking fee of £10.

What people are saying

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the teachers and everyone involved at TOPS. My children are getting so much out of the project and it has given me a nudge on remembering how to read and count music. The concert on Sunday was excellent and we’re looking forward to next term!

Claire Rudd, Parents of TOPs students 2023

As parents we are so happy with the environment. They learned new things and they had some changes in their daily lifes. The way they listed to music also different now. Not just listening but also making proper comments about it. Seeing all this makes me proud and happy. Thanks for making this available. I hope you can reach more children in the TOP program.

I learned notes. I started liking classical music. I joined a band in my school. And I made new friends.

It was good because I got to make new friends and get to play music that I couldn’t before. I liked doing concerts because I got to show off to my parents. I played glockenspiel, timpani, bongos, tambourine, crash cymbal, agogo bells and i tried the big bass drum. My favourite was timpani.

I loved it because I made a whole new groups of friends and learned a new instrument and got to perform to an audience of thousands. Even if you are young you can still feel great up on stage.
