Coaching is available to players of all levels in either pre-formed or informal groups. The availability of professional coaches and chamber music associates offers amateurs the opportunity to be coached and also to play with professionals in some sessions. If you would like to take part in the chamber music programme, please fill in the Chamber Music form on the back of the Booking Application form. Each week the orchestra works with an experienced director to give instrumentalists insights into orchestral playing and repertoire. Please see each week for details as some weeks require more commitment than others.
Entry is limited and students are selected by audition at the beginning of each week.
The classes are open to observers. A workshop is an open seminar for all who would like to increase their understanding of general areas of musical interest. They offer tuition, advice and performance opportunities and have been designed so that the mystery of music can be unfolded clearly and comprehensibly. The Summer School offers a wide range of specialist courses. Please bear in mind that some are by application only, places are limited and selection has to be made in advance.
