The Music Workshop Company Blog 

Each month the Music Workshop Company publishes two blogs. One blog, written by the MWC team addresses a key issue in Music Education or gives information about a particular genre or period of music. The other blog is written by a guest writer, highlighting good practice or key events in Music Education. We hope you enjoy reading the blogs.

The orchestra has been at the heart of much of Western music for over 350 years. Many of the pieces in the recommended listening list in the Model Music Curriculum for England are written for orchestra. We explore how the orchestra developed throughout the centuries, for the first of our series of posts examining the make-up of Western orchestras. 
 
Check back in May for the next post in the series, when we’ll delve deeper into the string family. 
This month’s guest blogger is Janna Hüneke, Founder and Lead Tutor at Flute School London. She tells us how a desire to provide opportunities for flautists to play together evolved into Flute School London - an annual course particularly aimed at adult learners. She outlines the programme's emphasis on ensemble playing, as well as its focus on building confidence and the simple joy of playing music - values that we at The Music Workshop Company certainly shares. 
Read on to learn more about the 2026 course and some of Flute School London's sister projects, including an online learning programme for adults.
