In this course Neil Black and Janice Knight will give a series of classes on all aspects of oboe playing and reed making and also en-courage participants to play together in chamber music: Nick Murray will be the pianist in residence: the atmosphere is informal.

Players of Grade VI and up to diploma standard are most welcome.

Neil Black, the well-known oboist, has performed and recorded most of the solo repertoire. As principal oboe of the London Philharmonic and later the English Chamber Orchestra, he has toured worldwide.

Neil Black has also been a professor of the oboe at the Royal College of Music, and currently teaches at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1989.
