Hoorah, we’re back!
And a Happy New Year to all. We’re looking forward to doing some new repertoire whilst keeping the old pieces polished and gleaming. Or at least familiar.
We’re going to return to some basic aural exercises again, something we used to include regularly, and then somehow lost the momentum. So bring your ears along.
Below is an impressive, comprehensive list of what we’ll expect you to have printed out, and if you keep these all in a notebook, you can always just bring that to each session. And below that, as usual, we’ll list the pieces we’ll be covering each session, so you swots can prepare…
The dates are on the website, 6 sessions, bargain subscription price of £50.
