What is the course about?
Jenny Curtis introduces cellists to works transcribed or originally written for cellos in anything from three to eight parts. There will be the usual gentle encouragement and enjoyment, and we’ll work hard together in order to improve technique and gain insight into issues of interpretation. Jenny will specify the music and allocate the parts - suitable to your level of playing - well in advance, so we please apply as early as possible so that you arrive well prepared.
What will we cover?
Aspects of cello technique and ensemble playing.
What will we accomplish? By the end of this course you will be able to...
The weekend gives the opportunity to rehearse pieces in more depth and to apply any techniques discussed. Hopefully over the weekend you will have gained the confidence to “let yourself go” so you can play and think about the music and not worry so much about accuracy of notes!
