with Robert Codd

Friday 2 – Sunday 4 June 2017
Level: Intermediate – Advanced
Fee: £210
Course No. 3229
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.
Accompanist and co-tutor, David Price, will focus on working on repertoire for bassoon and piano. Many aspects of bassoon technique will be examined and explained; from reed adjusting to fingerings and tackling those tricky passages.
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 a Participants Concert, which is completely voluntary.
