Part way through the summer term, the Senior Management Team at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) made a shocking announcement - they were proposing to close the Junior Department at the end of this term. Over three hundred children are struggling to come to terms with this decision.
My DC are musicians and they face an end to all the relationships they have built with their instrumental music teachers and their peers. They will lose the opportunity to make music with others in the form of chamber groups and symphony orchestra. Music for them is everything, they love spending their Saturdays at the Junior Conservatoire with likeminded children.
In order just to have the issue discussed by the Welsh Parliament, the Senedd, the petition needs 10,000 signatures. They've just announced that the petition will close on 19th June, so we have just a week to gain another 900 signatures or so.
I have recently posted this on another thread, where some Mumsnetters kindly supported the petition, but with just a week to go until the petition deadline, I'm posting in AIBU to gain traffic.
Please support the next generation of musicians, actors and actresses in Wales and the the surrounding areas:
