The Seales School of Music & the performing arts in collaboration with the Alliance Franciase presents a one day musical workshop facilitated by Fethi Tabet and his band from Algeria.
The workshop will be held on June 18th from 9am - 1pm at the Seales School of Music, Upper Lucas Street, St. George.s It is a free workshop for all musicians and will feature various instruments like, the violin, the lute and percussions, saxophone etc.
Fethi Tabet was born in Algeria at the beginning of the 1950s in an affluent family from Tlemcen-cradle of Arabo-Andalusian music, Fethi Tabet grew up in Oran, the tumultuous capital of Western Algerian. When Fethi was six years old, he watched one such orchestra on television and, that day, knew that he would be a musician, from then on, everything he did he made it an opportunity to play music. Fethi was only eleven years old when he entered the grand Arabo-Andalusian School of Cheikh Sekkal. There, every day, he studied singing, poetry, the violin, the viola, the lute and percussions.
Fethi Tabet's group is fashioned in his image, i.e. a multicultural and mixed family used to all sorts of experiences. The group is based on a strong friendship, gathering musicians who are all orchestra leaders with diverse musical influences, from France, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, Senegal, Mali and Brazil.

Sam West Visits


On December 3rd 2009, The Students at the Seales School of Music and Performing Arts had a surprising visit from Mr. Sam West, a well known and respected proprietor. He is a keen educator and specializes in vocal training for singers of contemporary styles since 1989.

Upon his visit Mr. West spoke with a few of the students and their teachers. "It is a most worthy venture you are doing with them, so I hope you will continue with this positive venture" said Mr. West. He says it was nice visiting the School and being able to see the students learning so eagerly.

Mr. West is a firm believer in music education and says in the music business, musicians who have ability are likely to have a longer music career if they nurture their talent.

Mr. West is currently focusing his teaching skills within the education sector - teaching vocals and instruments to students in London Borough of Brent schools, as part of the Brent Music Service team.

Seales School of Music is currently holding discussions with Mr. West to host a Workshop this Summer. For more information please contact the School. click here for more info on Sam West
