with Robert Codd
Accompanist: David Price

Friday 1 June – Sunday 3 June 2018
Level: Intermediate-Advanced
Fee: £220

Course No. 3283
Ensemble Course

A course for bassoonists to experience playing together in small groups; anything from duos to octets, developing sight-reading and enjoying the sheer exhilaration of working in ensembles. Many aspects of bassoon technique will be examined and explained; from reed adjusting to fingerings and tackling those tricky passages.

Accompanist and co-tutor, David Price, will focus on working on repertoire for bassoon and piano. The weekend would be invaluable in helping to prepare for A-level performances, end-of-year recitals, grading exams or just working through those pieces that you have never had a chance to explore before. There will be an informal Participants Concert, which is completely voluntary.
