Designed to revitalise and refresh, this five day course is now back in London, overlooking the beautiful Temple Gardens and River Thames, following ten years in Aberystwyth.
Filled with in-depth understanding, inspiring ideas and practical skills for music teaching learning and performing, it will include Practical Psychology for:
· Understanding why pupils do and don’t learn, how they learn and how to teach -demonstrating a multisensory approach.
· Performance anxiety, and how to prepare for technically secure and musically convincing performances which you, yourself, enjoy giving.
· Any professional problems, as requested, including those with pupils, colleagues, parents and schools.
There will also be step-by-step sessions on Playing by Ear and Improvising, and how to incorporate these skills into pupils’ lessons –including those geared towards the grade exams.
And there will be an (optional) afternoon of Dance for Musicians: farandole, minuet, landler, mazurka, polonaise, waltz, gallop.
