Weekend Courses for Wind And Reed Instruments

Weekend courses for Wind and Reed instruments at Jackdaws welcome Course Leaders who excel in their field, so that you can be sure to get the best quality tuition, offering opportunities to work on both solo and ensemble repertoire. Solo sessions will take place in a masterclass format, where each musician works on their chosen repertoire in turn, supported by an accompanist and observed by the group. During the breaks in teaching, you can use one of our practice rooms to apply what you have learnt, or reflect on the session as you enjoy the surroundings in the garden.

A standard weekend course runs from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, with lunch and dinners included, along with refreshments to keep you topped up, all provided on site at Jackdaws. Bed and Breakfast can be arranged for those of you travelling from further afield.
