"We look forward to this course so much; it's a fixture in our diary round which the whole year revolves!"
...will be at the course
This popular and highly acclaimed one week course is a great opportunity for players of recorders and viols to work on early music in a chamber setting.
Informal and friendly, the successful format features two chamber sessions each day with a tutor for up to half the period. There are seventy to eighty players with a tutor:student ratio of 1:10.
One session is with the same players every day, the other changes to offer opportunities to study a variety of music and play other early instruments.
Players ...
... do not need to form their own group though self-selected groups are welcome.
... must be able hold a part with confidence.
... choose what music they work on within their group — there is an extensive library and no set music.
The daily timetable and the music studied in 2010 demonstrate the scope of the course.
There are also opportunities for playing outside the sessions on the programme.
The course is at A=440 except by prior agreement with other players in small groups.
