​The Mayor's Speech

The Mayor gave a heartfelt message of encouragement and support for the work Templesprings is doing in the community.

“I was born in a council flat in South Ockendon and I’m still living in a flat in South Ockendon and am I’m mayor of Thurrock. I went into this young man’s school – David-Elijah Johnson and he showed me round his school as he’s the head boy. And about 2 weeks later, I get this fantastic email from him asking me to come here. Well I never knew this existed, I’m ashamed to say I’ve lived in South Ockendon for 60 odd years and I didn’t know Templesprings existed, my apologies.
 
What we’ve seen this afternoon has blown me away, all of this young people with such talent, you’re brilliant Thank you so much parents for coming to support this people, it’s like a great big family and I’ve never ever experienced this in the past 8 months of being the mayor- such a feeling of love. As I visit the schools, I will tell every head teacher about Templesprings as they need to know about you”


Templesprings music center organised a festive fun and celebrations day on Saturday the 12th of December 2015 at their new premises.  In attendance was the Mayor of Thurrock Cllr Sue Gray and Mayor’s consort Tony Lane.

The line-up included a music mini concert where the young people showcased their talents and what they have been learning this term at Templesprings; the Kids choir led by JB Rose, dance act, Lisa Chuma an entrepreneur who spoke about the impact of coaching, other supporting acts and Santa’s grotto for the family.

 
The founders Derin and Bidemi Johnson thanked the parents for the opportunity given to help shape their children’s musical journey and impact their lives positively.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Templesprings is a vibrant music school; the enthusiasm and expertise of the team is excellent and their musical prowess diverse. The opportunity to work with several different instruments throughout the year and to perform to an audience was very exciting. I valued the fact that the tutors consistently sought to encourage my own interests as well as build my confidence through music."

"Templesprings is an excellent organisation, the course manual and lesson workbook is so easy to use and understand to the extent that just after the second lesson I started playing"

"The first few week were tedious, my co-ordination on the drums wasn't good, but the patience on the part of my tutor and perseverance on my part to practice yielded and is still yielding results"
