Lower IntermediateThese courses are designed as a stepping stone between the Elementary and Intermediate courses. There are technique sessions, a few set pieces to study together, and friendly, relaxed consort playing. There will be plenty of help and advice with things like bowing, fingering, first and half position, making a good sound - do bring any questions you might have!
Here are some helpful guidelines for the level of a Lower Intermediate course: - Pieces will be in first position and half position. We will help you shift between the two. - Most, if not all, of the consort playing will be one-to-a-part - We will send you more pieces in advance, in addition to the set repertoire, so not all other sessions will be sight reading March 18th - 20th 2024 (Monday - Wednesday) - COURSE FULL - St Katharine's Parmour, Henley-on-Thames 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. To apply please fill in the application form here and pay a deposit. We will ask for the balance nearer the time.
