About String Quartets with Bingham String Quartet
The Bingham Quartet return with another of their special weekends devoted to coaching pre-formed quartets.
What is the course about?
The Bingham Quartet return with another of their special weekends devoted to coaching pre-formed quartets. The Bingham will offer their expert advice and insights and you are free to work on any repertoire you like. The course fee also includes a ticket to their concert on the Friday evening.
Please note that any quartets wishing to arrange a pre-course playing room between 2.30pm-6.30pm on the first day must contact us at Benslow Music before the course to avoid disappointment.
What will you learn?
Detailed coaching is provided by the four members of the quartet on all aspects of chamber music playing, both technical and musical. The knowledge gained by the tutors over many years is used to great effect to enhance participants’ enjoyment of the course.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Know more about your chosen repertoire.
- Have gained insight into the technical difficulties involved.
- Improve your musical interpretation.
How will the course be taught?
It is helpful if the group has prepared their chosen repertoire a little before the course, but not an absolute requirement. No written work. Peer feedback is possible in our usual open masterclass session. Other feedback is from tutors to individual groups, and groups are encouraged to look constructively at each other’s playing within the group.
Who is the course for?
Pre-formed groups
Ability: Confident, Skilful
Will music be provided and do you need to prepare or bring anything?
Participants bring their own music or use the Benslow Library. Please also bring your instruments.
The Binghams are always friendly and approachable and have a great ability to get the best out of the quartet being tutored.
Very friendly, informative, supportive, enthusiastic.
As always with the Binghams, very interesting and helpful coaching, particularly on matters of intonation and the usual friendly and informal atmosphere throughout the course.
