By exploring this wide repertoire, you’ll work on your sightreading and ensemble skills. Your tutors will be on-hand, providing careful feedback on your playing to help you grow and develop.

You'll work in a variety of different groups, varying in size, and on different repertoire throughout the course. The tutors will select pieces and allocate you into groups while providing coaching throughout. 

There will also be opportunities for you to explore you own choice of repertoire informally outside of tutored course sessions.
