If you enjoy playing the piano, suffer from nerves, yet long to play with greater security and confidence, then this is the course for you. Bring along your favourite pieces for discussion and exploration in a relaxed, informal environment. There is no obligation to play any piece in full; it may be that you only wish to tackle a few bars at a time.

The general standard is from about Grade V upwards, though this does not preclude those of a humbler ability. The emphasis is on learning with enjoyment, sharing difficulties with others, and discovering comfortable, practical ways to overcome musical and technical problems. Participants are encouraged to bring along any duets they may have as these have proved to be very popular and can greatly contribute to the musical and performing experience of the weekend.
