RecorderFest
Poster
|
Benslow Music, Benslow Lane, Hitchin, Hertfordshire SG4 9RB
In association with The Society of Recorder Players
Tutors: Alyson Lewin, Anne Martin, Jean McCreery, Caroline Radcliffe, Rae Strong
Standard: Elementary, Lower/Upper Intermediate, Advanced
Again our experienced and enthusiastic team of recorder tutors welcome you the ever popular RecorderFest. In this wide-ability course, the tutors will ensure you are placed in a group of 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. More experienced players will enjoy being stretched in ensemble sessions with an option to explore one-to-a-part work benefiting from relaxed and friendly guidance. Participants at this level should offer at least two instruments. The most advanced players, who must be strong sight readers with good rhythmic skills, have the confidence to work solely on one-to-a-part repertoire, offer all four different instruments (and be able to swap between them with ease) and produce ensemble sound of consistently high quality, will benefit from exacting and highly skilled musical and technical guidance, as always delivered in a supportive manner.
Cost:
2 Night Option: Fri 15 – Sun 17 Resident: £280 Non-Resident: £205 Details & booking
3 Night Option: Fri 15 – Mon 18 Resident: £400 Non-Resident: £305 Detail & booking

Easier Eight-Foot Saturday
|
Aston Village Hall, New Park Lane, Aston, Hertfordshire, SG2 7DY
Tutors: Ann & Steve Marshall
Following hugely successful such days in the last couple of years, Ann and Steve will lead another day of music where the smallest instrument is the tenor (so-called eight-foot ensemble). They will bring the gorgeousness of eight-foot playing within the reach of U3A-standard players by careful choice of music. These days also attract strong players, who want to bask in that eight-sound – those players are equally welcome!
Full details as well as online booking on the website.

All That Jazz |
Aston Village Hall, New Park Lane, Aston, Hertfordshire, SG2 7DY
Tutors: Helen Hooker and Steve Marshall
Helen is quite simply one of the UK’s best-respected and best-liked recorder conductors, and a frequent purveyor of jazz. Steve grew up playing jazz and related music, and is on a mission to make recorder ensembles swing like mad! This day is aimed primarily at SRP players, although anyone of moderate playing standard is very welcome. Helen and Steve intend that some learning takes place during the day, but that considerable fun is also involved! By the way, don’t worry – improvisation will not be required.
