Dear Percussionists,
We are looking forward to welcoming you at RWCMD in September. We are expecting a new 5 octave marimba and new xylophone as we continue to improve our instrument stock.
Within the first few days we will welcome you to integrate with your fellow percussionists in the form of a fun get together, and your new tutors are equally keen to meet you all.
We have two exciting visits from Colin Currie this academic year providing concert and masterclass experience. Along with our regular chamber music and larger ensemble opportunities.
Some of you have enthusiastically told us about your hopes and plans for small Percussion ensembles and repertoire and we are keen to support you as you develop these independent ideas. RWCMD provides many opportunities, but the most important aspect of study at this level is developing and pursuing your own imagination and ideas. You are joining an energetic and imaginative team of teachers and we will do our best to support you all during your time together at RWCMD.
Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions or concerns.

Annwyl Offerynnau Taro,
Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at eich croesawu i CBCDC ym mis Medi. Rydym yn disgwyl marimba 5 octave newydd a xylophone newydd wrth i ni barhau i wella ein stoc offer.
O fewn yr ychydig ddyddiau cyntaf byddwn yn eich croesawu i integreiddio â’ch cyd-offerynnau taro ar ffurf hwyl ddod at ei gilydd, ac mae’ch tiwtoriaid newydd yr un mor awyddus i gwrdd â chi i gyd.
Cawn ddau ymweliad cyffrous gan Colin Currie y flwyddyn academaidd hon gan ddarparu profiad cyngerdd a dosbarth meistr. Ynghyd â’n cerddoriaeth siambr reolaidd a chyfleoedd ensemble.
Mae rhai ohonoch wedi dweud wrthym yn frwd am eich gobeithion a’ch cynlluniau ar gyfer ensemblau taro bach a repertoire ac rydym yn awyddus i’ch cefnogi wrth i chi ddatblygu’r syniadau annibynnol hyn.
Mae CBCDC yn darparu llawer o gyfleoedd, ond yr agwedd bwysicaf i astudio ar y lefel hon yw datblygu a dilyn eich dychymyg a’ch syniadau eich hun.
Rydych yn ymuno â thîm egnïol a dychmygus o athrawon a byddwn yn gwneud ein gorau i gefnogi chi yn ystod eich amser yn CBCDC.
Peidiwch ag oedi cysylltu os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau neu bryderon.
