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' (some of which we will send out in advance) and a friendly introduction to consort playing. 
Here are some helpful guidelines about the level of an Elementary course:
- For new viol 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, but technical input will be given on these
​- Advice will be given on posture and holding the viol
- Not required to hold a part on your own although could be encouraged to do so
