James is the latest Treloar College student to join the National Open Youth Orchestra, playing the Clarion. The Clarion offers new and inclusive ways of making music and performing. James learnt to play Clarion in music lessons at Treloar’s.
Clarion is the first accessible instrument that offers access to students who would otherwise be unable to play an instrument due to physical limitations.
James says playing with an orchestra “has always been my dream”. He is looking forwards to playing in his first concert with NOYO in June 2026.
