Elementary Courses

The Elementary and Lower-Intermediate courses are taking a sabbatical for 2025! 
If you would like to apply as a member of a pre-formed consort we can help you find other players at your level.

These courses are for anyone who is new to viol playing and wants to take the next step. There will be technique sessions, a few 'set pieces' to study together, and a friendly introduction to consort playing. 
Here are some helpful guidelines about the level of an Elementary course:
- Relatively new players
- You do not need to have met all 6 strings of your viol, but could do with being able to play simple pieces in first position, rhythmically uncomplicated
- Basic fingering and bow hold in place
- Not required to hold a part on your own although could be encouraged to do so
