In February 2010 the band launched the RDTC Academy aimed at younger aspiring musicians between the age of 8-10 years.  The academy will provide one hours tuition in music and drill on a Tuesday nights from a professional music teacher and membership to the academy is free, as is the instrument on loan. The organisation is being run as a feeder to the main band in a few years time, however catering and understanding for the younger childrens needs so they can enjoy their learning of a new skill.
 
The academy has proved to be very popular with 16 arriving on its opening night and membership beginning to grow.  We still have some instruments available athough we anticipate soon having a waiting list to join.

For further details or to see what its all about please come to Former Ingrebourne School, Taunton Road, Harold Hill, Essex, RM3 7YT on a Tuesday evening at 6.30pm or call Paul on 07533 207026.
