Following on from the success of our Summer School this year, the Easter course will be held on 10th – 13th April 2012 at the Purcell School near Bushey in Hertfordshire. The course is residential, with day places available, for children aged 8 to18, with a minimum standard of Grade 1
The course tutors include Paul Archibald, Tom Rainer, Philippe Schartz and Heidi Bennett (trumpet), Simon Rayner (horn), Katy Jones and Doug Coleman (trombone), Christian Jones (bass trombone) and Lee Tsarmaklis (tuba).
Kevin Hathway, one of the country’s most respected percussionists and educators, will lead the percussion course with specialist lessons in Brazilian, African, Stomp-style ensemble and drum kit.
The Easter Course will run from 9am to 6pm daily, and in addition to the music sessions will include two hours of organised sport and activities in the afternoon. There will also be a programme of evening events for the residential students. There will be small and large ensembles, masterclasses and a competition, and the course will end with a concert by the participants.
