For the past ten or so years I have tutored with Caroline (see blogs ad passim!) on the Woodwind Ensemble Course at Benslow Music Trust, Hitchin although this year will be th efirst with me leading the whole weekend as Caroline took the decision not to conitune after last year. Actually she took that decision two years ago but we had so much fun in 2011 that she decided to do one more year.
Benslow is a fabulous centre offering residential and day courses in all aspects of music. Most of the courses are for players of varying levels but there also talks, study courses and concerts so there is something for everyone. The atmosphere is a mixture of hard work but immense fun. That's just the tutors. The participants work even harder! That so many of them return year after year says a lot about the support they have for the trust.
This year there is a Clarsach Course, in association with the Clarsach Society to be led by Danielle Perrett and Máire Ní Chathasaigh from 18 to 20 October. Highly recommended and further details are here:
