We welcome players over 16 years of age (15, if accompanied by an adult course member who will accept full responsibility), at all levels from elementary to advanced players.
Each morning starts with a tutorial class. There will be advanced classes (by audition), intermediate classes, and also two permanent ensembles, at advanced and intermediate level. These two ensemble classes are for people who do not wish to work on specific solo repertoire. Here is a list of the 2010 tutorial music.
There are also twice daily ensembles, graded in order of difficulty, and students can attend whichever they choose. Here is a list of the 2010 ensemble music.
Lists of the music for 2010 will be posted here as soon as they become available.
There is also a concert, open to the public, this year on the Monday evening. In 2010, we will be very happy to welcome Fontanella.
In the afternoon, there are many options, for example:
Recorder Orchestra
Arranging music for recorders
Contemporary Music
One-to-a-part sessions
Light music and swing
Multi Choir recorders
Basic Harmony
Conducting
Play the bass
Wednesday afternoon is free for you to have a rest, see the beautiful locality, or carry on practising!
Every day, there is also the opportunity to sing in a choir.
At the end of the week, on the last evening, there is a student concert.
There are also shops present on the course. Recorder MusicMail is
present, with a huge stock of music, including the course set works.
We also have a visit from The Early Music Shop, which provides recorders,
early music instruments, and CDs.
