Schools Workshops
Chamber music workshops in schools
Regency Chamber Music Schools Workshops have been uniquely developed
to provide the highest quality chamber music tuition to gifted and
talented instrumentalists within the school environment. These workshops
are an opportunity to encourage and develop not only the musical skills
of each individual participant but also encourage communication skills,
leadership and group participation. Schools Workshops can be individually
tailored to meet your school’s educational requirements.
Chamber music coaching is the main focus of each project with groups
carefully organised so that each participant is playing with others
of a similar standard. Playing chamber music requires high levels
of verbal and non-verbal communication and provides a valuable chance
to develop inter-personal skills. In addition to chamber music coaching,
all workshops include a chamber orchestra element which allows for
musical interaction between varying ages and abilities. Tutors play
alongside students in the chamber orchestra, encouraging and inspiring
them to raise their level. Workshops incorporating more than one day
can also include individual coaching sessions.
Schools can book workshops by the day with up to 6.5 hours of coaching.
Chamber groups can each have up to five participants, the optimum
number being four. All orchestral instruments and piano can be catered
for. Parts can be sent to the school up to one month before a workshop
to give students a chance to prepare.
Each project culminates in a concert, which can be recorded and used
for GCSE and AS assessments. This concert provides a focus for the
coaching sessions as well as a valuable chance for students to share
their experience with families, friends and teachers. The concert
also includes a short performance by the tutors, giving everyone a
taste of a professional performance. The members of The Regency Ensemble
are all in demand professional musicians who have extensive experience
of playing and coaching chamber music at the highest level.
Projects can be booked for three, four or five chamber groups. Fees
are set out below:
- Three chamber groups: £620
- Four chamber groups: £760
- Five chamber groups: £900
