Course programme

- Two or three pieces are studied each term covering musical and technical aspects
- Weekly technical exercises are set to work on breathing, tone, articulation, intonation, or the altissimo register
- There is always discussion in class to which all the students contribute
- Ensemble pieces are studied, or presented as sight reading exercises.

Learning as a group, but playing in various combinations from the entire group to individuals. The tutor tries to hear each student play on their own at least once each week. You will need to practise regularly outside class time to make progress in this course, but it is not expected that you will produce perfect results in class every week.
