Musicianship

We have four musicianship classes a week for adults, based in the Kodály approach. These are all aimed at meeting the needs of people in our choirs, though can be attended as a stand alone. Please email us if that is an option you would like to take up.

Through games, songs, movement and play, adult beginner musicians learn to read, write, and understand music, while developing aural and musicianship skills. These classes are aimed at meeting the needs of singers in our choirs, but are open to anyone who wishes to develop their musicianship skills. Visitors welcome.
