Joining an orchestra is an exciting and essential part of being an instrumentalist. If your child is just starting their musical journey then STOMPERS is the ideal music group for them to join.
Our STOMPERS ensemble is especially designed for beginner players: if you can play five notes confidently on your instrument then Stompers is the ideal home for you to stretch your musical wings.
We welcome all instruments to our beginner orchestras. Whether your child is learning ukulele or violin, percussion or piano, trumpet or saxophone, they will find a warm welcome from our brilliant and supportive group leaders.
STOMPERS orchestras explore a wide range of genres from film themes to pop songs, right through to ‘classical’ favourites. Our expert tutors tailor arrangements to help students make progress and grow in confidence.
Chances are there’s a STOMPERS group right on your doorstep: our beginner orchestras run weekly in Shrewsbury, Wem, Cleobury Mortimer and Ludlow so your child’s first orchestral experience is never too far away!
Our regional STOMPERS groups come together from across Shropshire for termly concerts, with many also hosting local shows.
These performances are always a highlight – full of rhythm, energy, and smiles.
Families love seeing the confidence and teamwork pupils bring to the stage, and there’s almost always an encore as the audience joins in the fun.
STOMPERS concerts truly capture the joy of making music together.
Joining an orchestra can feel daunting, but not at STOMPERS. Our experienced leaders – all skilled educators and performers – take time to get to know each child, arranging music that builds confidence and develops ability at every level.
STOMPERS is all about teamwork. Every player contributes to the sound, learning how to listen, support others, and create something amazing together.
Weekly rehearsals help children make friends and work toward a shared goal – and when all our regional STOMPERS unite as one big orchestra, the energy and excitement are unforgettable.
Joining STOMPERS provides children with a fun, supportive environment where they can develop in confidence and make new friends.
