Young school musicians blow family and friends away at Violins in the Vale concert
Violins in the Vale, organised by Harby-based music teacher Zosia Cocker, involved about 50 children aged 7-18 from schools across the Melton borough and beyond.
An afternoon of music rehearsals and workshops finished with a massed performance for parents and friends. Young violinists, viola players and cellists played alongside pupils from other local schools.

Mrs Cocker said: “For many of the children it was their first opportunity to play and perform together with such a large band and they all had a wonderful afternoon.
“There were many memorable highlights, from the beginner group enthusiastically playing Tinkle Twinkle Little Star with actions, a very polished Vivaldi double violin concerto performed by the Senior String Group, James Bond music with a catchy groove, and a spirited Crocodile Rock at the end.
“Parents and friends also raised £62 from our bucket collection at the end for Dove Cottage Day Hospice.”
