               (please note from Grade III upwards) 

Everyone has performance problems or hang-ups to get over; we all have different strengths and abilities, and observing other performers, in any discipline, is beneficial.  The performing games that will begin the weekend are for the whole group together.  We'll learn warm-ups and de-stressing techniques, as well as how to communicate without using the instruments.  The rest of the weekend will be devoted to assessing how we come across to an audience, audition panel or examiner.  If possible, though not essential, the participants should memorise one short piece or song or melody.  We may go into memorising and improvising techniques if time allows.
