Benslow Music Trust, Little Benslow Hills, Hitchin

Janet Myatt introduces players, who might come as individuals or as newly-established ensembles, to one-to-a-part playing in groups of similar abilities. She’s an expert at finding music to suit different combinations of instruments too. Minimum standard expected is grade three of reasonable sight-reading standard. Perhaps you are rejuvenating old skills, have just taken up an nstrument or you are already a competent player but lack experience in ensemble playing. Whatever the case, this is the course for you.
