Description
The main purpose of this weekend is to have fun playing music together, and develop your musical skills in the process. There will be a welcome meal and a Firelight Trio concert on the Friday night, then 2 days of music workshops, Saturday and Sunday, led by Gavin Marwick, Ruth Morris and Phil Alexander.
Some sessions will be individual and some group, tailored to the level of the people who sign up. Workshops will be varied with some focusing on melody and some on accompaniment – creating something that we can all perform together at the end of the weekend. Teaching will be by partly by ear and partly using written music. If you only do one or the other, you will still be able to participate. People who sign up should be at an intermediate level on any instrument.
There will be a slow session on Saturday evening.
The cost of the course includes the meal and concert on the Friday night, all the workshops on Saturday and Sunday, with lunch and dinner, teas, coffee and snacks all included. The workshops will finish with something all together on the Sunday afternoon, and Sunday evening will be a ‘Survivor’s Session’ for anyone who has not had to leave to travel home. There will be 25 places available on this weekend in total.
Meals and refreshments included. Accommodation may be available for a large group locally and other B&B’s are available in the local area, Shambellie House have a list.
