Brass For Africa
We are pleased to announce that Ambrosoli will be partnering with Brass for Africa for our community link for the 2019-2020 school year.
Partnership with Brass for Africa will help to promote greater awareness, understanding, compassion and respect for others within our Kampala community. As well as this, it will provide opportunities for children from different backgrounds to bond and form friendships, helping them to become internationally minded global citizens. Furthermore, links with Brass for Africa will help to raise the profile of music within our school and develop a shared love of music within the wider community.

Children from Brass for Africa and some children in Years 4-6 put on a stunning performance of Jingle Bells at the PTA Christmas Fair on Friday. During the final rehearsals, the children perfected their instrument playing and honed their performance skills. The children have done a great job of learning a song on instruments that are mainly new to them in an extremely short space of time. They all showed genuine adaptability, resilience and cooperation skills throughout the whole process....
In school a group of keen, musically-minded students have been rehearsing for a performance of ‘Jingle Bells’ at the PTA Christmas Fair on December 6th. On Saturday, this group of children from Ambrosoli visited the Brass for Africa centre in Nsambya. We visited the Brass for Africa centre to do a joint rehearsal with the children there who have also been practising the same song. We had fun working together, playing a huge range of instruments, to create an instrumental rendition...
