Sandwich Music Group

Sandwich Music Group A local group of musicians playing together, learning from each other (with any funds raised from concerts given to charities and local community)

Sandwich Music Group was formed in 1976 to provide an opportunity for orchestral instrument players to play together, and to learn from each other, whilst also raising funds from concerts for other charities/non-profit-making organisations. We rehearse on Thursday evenings 7:15 - 9:00 pm in the United Reformed Church, Cattle Market, Sandwich CT13 9AF. The group plays a wide variety of material, a

nd boasts an experienced and talented musical director and an excellent piano accompanist. We welcome woodwind, brass and string players. We rehearse pieces of music with a view to presenting concerts in support of local charitable organisations' fund raising.

🎵 Top Tips to Help You Stay Motivated When Practising 🎵

Do you ever struggle to stay motivated with practice? We asked people at Kent Music to share what keeps them going. Here’s what they said:

1️⃣ Join an ensemble 🎶
Playing with friends helps you to enjoy music more.

2️⃣ Enjoy the journey 🌱
Focus on small wins, not just the end goal.

3️⃣ Play music you love ❤️
Enjoyment boosts motivation and inspires new ideas.

4️⃣ Mix it up 🔄
Practise one piece you enjoy and one that you don't so much. Never forget your scales!

5️⃣ Break it down✂️
Work on small sections like a tricky bar or short phrase.

6️⃣ Have a goal 🎯
It doesn't have to be a concert – even a personal target can help keep you focused.

7️⃣ Keep it fun 😄..especially when it feels hard. If you enjoy it, you’ll keep coming back to it!

Remember: consistency beats perfection! ✨ The more you enjoy your practice, the more likely you are to stick with it, and that's where real progress happens.

UPDATE : Total £252 raised for Kent Wildlife Trust on Sat. 30th May.

Deal Hoodeners great, as ever!
Lovely audience, sang along with the Teddy Bears' Picnic, and joined in with gusto on one of the Hoodeners' songs. Thank you.

We were happy that Brian Foakes (founder member of SMG) could be there, and say a few words about SMG.
Thanks also to all who assisted with the smooth running of the event - designing and printing programmes and poster, taking money on the door, raffle, refreshments, United Reformed Church for use of the church, and anyone I've forgotten to mention.
The Red Cow - Sandwich contributed £20 to the funds raised - thank you.

Next concert Saturday 30th May! Guest stars Deal Hoodeners!
