We want to see you in action! It helps us decide whether this course is the right fit for you.
It's desirable, but not essential - previous conducting and singing experience will be also taken into account, as well as your video.
No - people can apply to enter our training structure at any level.
It's desirable to have Grade 5 theory, GCSE music, or similar, but not essential - we'll also take your previous experience into account.
We're happy to accept payment instalments by prior arrangement, so if you want to spread the payment please get in touch with us to make an arrangement that suits you. Please do this at the time of booking, otherwise we'll expect the full balance to be paid before the course starts.
There are up to 15 participants in one group.
In this course participants form a choir for each other, and we choose repertoire suited to that group to make sure your individual conducting experience is as productive as possible.
Each participant has the opportunity to conduct at each session, usually for around 12 - 15 minutes.
If you have made 4 of the course sessions, including the first and last session, then we can work with you between the sessions you miss so that you can complete the course.
Course sessions are deliberately spaced to provide the best learning experience. For that reason, if you drop out part way through a course, we would ask you to start afresh on a new course if you wanted to complete your training. Members can transfer a portion of their fee onto a future course to offset the costs - find out more about membership here.
If you've still got questions or would like an informal chat, get in touch with our Training Manager, Elisabeth Brierley, who will be happy to help, either by email or phoning 07805 454563.
