£340 (residential) £230 (non-residential)
Intermediate Course: 4pm Fri 27th - 3pm Sun 29th March 2026
Tutored by Mary Tyers, the overall objective of Recorders at Rydal is to have fun exploring a variety of music in a friendly, lively, enjoyably challenging yet supportive atmosphere.
Mary delights in enabling enthusiastic adult amateurs to enjoy and develop their music making. Technique, style & interpretation will be covered as they arise.
This intermediate course is suitable for players of approximately Grades 4 to 7 standard.
Lower intermediate players should be able to play more than one size of instrument but may not yet be equally secure on both F & C instruments, or may want the opportunity to develop their bass playing. Upper intermediate players should ideally be able to play all sizes of recorder (descant to bass) and be proficient sight readers. Great Bass and Contra Bass recorders are also welcome.
In addition to the tutti sessions there will be the opportunity for 2 or 3 small ensemble sessions which are usually ‘one-to-a-part’, so the ability to hold your own line, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, in music appropriate to your level, is desirable.
Please book direct with Rydal Hall, but feel free to contact Mary if you have other queries regarding the course.
Residential and day visitor rates available. Non-playing partners and friends also welcome.
See you there!
