Benslow Recorder Festival is a celebration of the recorder for all abilities from elementary to advanced with ensemble, technique and orchestral sessions. Recorders and music will be available to buy from the Early Music Shop and Hawthorns Music and there will be an evening concert by Palisander.
Tutors will ensure that you are placed in a group at an appropriate level, and there may be movement between groups as the course progresses.
Those of elementary standard, reasonably proficient at reading music, will benefit from a patient and sympathetic approach.
Intermediate standard players will enjoy being stretched in technique and ensemble sessions with an option to explore one-to-a-part playing benefitting from relaxed and friendly guidance. Intermediate players should offer at least two instruments and be confident sight readers.
Advanced players must be strong-sight readers with good rhythmic skills and the confidence to work on one-to-a-part repertoire. They should be able to play soprano-bass with equal proficiency and produce a good tone. Advanced players will benefit from exacting and highly skilled musical and technical guidance, delivered in a supportive manner.
Entry to the performance by Palisander on Tuesday evening is included within the course fee.
