A standard weekend course will feature 12 hours of delivery across 8 sessions, which may or may not include a concert in the final session depending on the course.
On longer, three-day courses, the course start is on Thursday at 6.30pm followed by session 1, then the two middle days follow the same timetable as Saturday shown above.
During a course, Jackdaws will be open until each day from 9am and will close on Friday after the evening session, on Saturday after supper and 4:30pm on Sunday.
Please note that specific timings may vary depending on the course; some Course Leaders may adjust the timetable to best suit the focus and aims of their particular course. In these instances, we will endeavour to send the revised weekend timetable to attendees in advance of the start of the course.
Participants are welcome to use the sign-up sheets each day to book single slots for practice and rehearsal time in one of the several practice spaces available, with consideration for others.
