Elizabeth TurnbullStrings & Things, Part 1
with Elizabeth Turnbull

Friday 16 – Sunday 18 June 2017
Level: Beginner – Intermediate
Fee: £200

Course No. 3231
Ensemble Course

This course provides a foundation in ensemble playing for adult beginners and inexperienced play-ers of Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass. It is perfect for late starters and those who have returned to playing after many years and would like to play in groups and orchestras but need to develop confidence.

This is the opportunity to develop your ensemble playing skills in a small supportive group. There is time to deal with all the issues arising – intonation, bowing, articulation, tone quality, rhythm and counting. The repertoire is carefully chosen to be challenging but not intimidating. Parts are sent out in advance and the weekend is spent in a rehearsal situation dealing with the skills of string playing in great detail. Suitable for musicians of Grade 1-4 ability.
