Elementary Courses

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

September 14th - 16th/17th 2023 (Thursday - Saturday / Sunday, two or three night option)
Yarnfield Park, Staffordshire
This is the first time we are offering an extra day on a course. You can choose whether you do a 'normal' length course for two nights, or stay an extra day and finish at lunch time on Day 3. The cost of the two night option is £325 as usual, and for three nights it is £445.

Once people have applied, we will choose music and send you some in advance so you can have a look before you come. We may set a particular book and ask you to buy a copy to bring with you, otherwise all music will be provided by us.
Courses start with dinner on the first evening, and end with lunch on the last day. For more details about the structure of the day see here.
