Advanced Ensemble day
On this one-day course players can really get their teeth into challenging repertoire, under the guidance of our experienced and encouraging tutors. Students can get a taste of advanced ensembles with String Orchestra, Wind Band, Brass Ensembles and more. This full day of music-making is the perfect opportunity to hone those performance skills in a non stressful environment. The music performed will be of an advanced level, and so only suitable for players of grade 6 up to diploma standard.
