Work with extraordinary Venezuelan pianist, Elena Riu, on releasing the pianist within you.
As a specialist in Spanish and South American composers, Elena particularly encourages this repertoire but she will lead you gently through whichever repertoire you choose to bring, working on the use of tone production and harmonic colour to enlarge your emotional vocabulary.
Part of the weekend will focus on reducing performance anxiety, integrating some simple yoga, relaxation and visualisation techniques to improve your playing and benefit the ‘whole person’. Leave Jackdaws feeling refreshed and revitalised in your playing.
