Ensembles Workshop

On Saturday 21 March we held the first of our workshops for this year.

We’ve been wanting to hold a ‘Playing in small ensembles’ workshop for a while and we finally

managed to run one.

The attendees were allocated quartets, quintets and one trio. These  

grouping were changed twice during the day so we got to play with  

different people. We’d been given lots of music, of varying levels of  

difficulty in advance so we could familiarise ourselves. 

Richard dashed about from room to room listening, giving good  

advice and occasionally joining in. 

At the end of the workshop day, the ensembles each performed a  

piece that they’d been working on. 

After dinner we relaxed and socialised while being entertained by  

anyone who fancied doing a floor spot.

Singing and instruments other that saxophones featured and a lot of  fun was had by all.
