Recorder Weekend

with Anna Stegmann

Work with one of the foremost teachers and performers of this instrument, Anna Stegmann, to explore the vibrant and varied world of the recorder; solo and consort, ancient and modern.

Anna Stegmann, a Royal Academy professor, will offer individual coaching in a friendly masterclass format, group lessons on technique, as well as the opportunity to work on ensemble pieces with the entire group.

Small ensembles and individuals welcome to attend. Everyone will receive coaching and 1 – 1 sessions as well as playing in a variety of ensembles.
