Fantasia Orchestra is delighted to have a partnership with the DaCapo Music Foundation.
Having been delivering music education for over 30 years, DaCapo has a wealth of experience in teaching children of all ages. Their highly successful Saturday Music Centre in North London is central to their work, and DaCapo also runs music provision in a number of schools across London.
Fantasia Orchestra is DaCapo's orchestra-in-residence, and together the two organisations deliver joint education ventures.
At the heart of this partnership are our Take Note Workshops, interactive sessions that bring Fantasia’s musicians directly into classrooms.
Each workshop is designed to be hands-on, giving pupils the chance to sing, play and create music alongside some of the UK’s most talented young orchestral players. We focus on creativity, collaboration, and confidence, inspiring children to explore the joy of live music in a way that feels approachable, fun and empowering.
Whether it’s introducing a new instrument, discovering music from around the world, or working together to create something brand new, Take Note is all about sparking curiosity and opening doors. By connecting professional musicians with the next generation, we hope to nurture a lifelong love of music and make high-quality music-making accessible to all.
Fantasia Orchestra has worked with our partners at DaCapo Music Foundation on a new resource for the primary classroom: DaCapo Online:
a fun programme, tailored to meet the unique needs of children in Nursery and KS1 (KS2 launching soon)
a comprehensive online music curriculum, based on DaCapo’s 30 years’ experience
ambitious and inclusive and enables class teachers with little musical expertise to teach music in an interactive and engaging way
The programme has been created by top-quality musicians with specially-commissioned songs. Aimed at specific age groups, every lesson can be taught at the teacher’s own pace to ensure full coverage of the curriculum. Teachers learn alongside the children and save on Planning, Preparation & Assessment.
Fantasia Orchestra is featured in every stage of the online resource.
Schools can sign up for a FREE one-month trial so you can test DaCapo Primary Music in your classroom. It is then £50 per class, per annum.
