Finding Your Voice at the Piano
with Stephen Savage
Friday 30 October – Sunday 1 November 2020
Level: All
Fee: £240
Bring your repertoire to life under the enlightening guidance of experienced tutor Stephen Savage; by increasing your listening skills and physical comfort to become more in tune with the narrative of the music. Tuition will focus on the needs of the individual, including strategies and suggestions, while giving scope for group participation, aiming to inspire and encourage each participant.
Repertoire is of your own choice, but you may find it easier to focus on the ideas proposed in the teaching sessions when the works presented are already fairly secure.
