SUMMARY:Lower intermediate course with Dave Hall - ONE PLACE LEFT
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed for people who have made a good start at the piano and got to between grade 2 and grade 4 standard. It’s ideal for players keen to return to the piano after a gap of a few years\, or indeed for anyone practising regularly working up through the grades. \nThis course is being run by David Hall (FRCO\, MA Cantab)\, who is one of our most popular tutors at Finchcocks\, and was recently described by the Sunday Times when they joined us on a Finchcocks piano course\, as a “musical powerhouse”. This is him in action at one of our Saturday evening recitals in the main Hall of Finchcocks. \n \nEach day typically starts with a workshop in the Finchcocks in our vaulted cellars. This allows rapid demonstration and practice of techniques using our nine grand pianos which each have their own glass fronted practice room and surround the main atrium of the cellar. \n \nIn the afternoons\, there is time for private practice on one of our beautiful acoustic grand pianos including our new Steinway. Later in the afternoon\, we convene for a masterclass\, which involves a little bit of (very relaxed) performance in front of your classmates in the recital room. At 7pm we have our pre-dinner talk or recital in the main house\, which is a chance to relax and be inspired with a glass of wine\, before returning to the Coach House for dinner. \n \nIf you aren’t sure whether this is the right course for you\, or quite what your level is\, please drop Jenny a line using the form below\, or give here a ring on 01580 428080. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Weekend courses\n\n	from £475\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Your Name (required)\n \n \n Your Email (required)\n \n \n Please tell us which course are you interested in\, your room preference(s) and a little bit about your playing experience to date:\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...

SUMMARY:Intermediate Weekend with Melanie Spanswick - ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed for people who are between grade 4 and grade 7 in standard. \nWe’re very lucky to have Melanie Spanswick as our Course Director for this weekend. Melanie is a composer\, performer and writer and has run piano courses throughout Europe\, the USA and the Far East. \n \nMelanie’s sessions will cover some of the key topics that bridge the gap between intermediate and advanced players; exploring physical technique\, developing sight-reading skills and creating a strategy for memorisation. \nPhysical flexibility is an important aspect of piano playing\, and Melanie will be exploring ways of alleviating tension and stiffness whilst developing strong fingers. This will be done via a series of simple but useful exercises\, both at and away from the instrument! \nEach day typically starts with a workshop in the Finchcocks cellars. Techniques are discussed\, demonstrated and developed with everyone encouraged to participate. No preparation is required\, and the exercises will be carefully adapted to the particular experience level of each participant. \nShortly afterwards\, we convene for a masterclass\, which involves a little bit of (very relaxed) performance in front of your classmates and perhaps a duet or two. \nIn the afternoons\, there is time for private practice on one of our beautiful acoustic grand pianos and with regular burst of individual supervision from Melanie. \nAt 7pm we have our pre-dinner talk or recital\, which is a chance to relax and be inspired\, before returning to the Coach House for dinner. \nFor booking enquiries\, please contact Emma on 01580 428080 or fill in the form below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Weekend courses\n\n	from £475\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Your Name (required)\n \n \n Your Email (required)\n \n \n Please tell us which course are you interested in\, your room preference(s) and a little bit about your playing experience to date:\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...

SUMMARY:Jazz and Improvisation Weekend with Dr Mark Polishook
DESCRIPTION:The jazz workshop sessions that we run as part of our upper intermediate courses\, got such good reviews that we’re delighted to announce that we’ll be adding two weekend courses that focus exclusively on jazz and improvisation. \nDr Mark Polishook\, who hails from NYC\, is running both of our jazz courses and knows the international jazz scene like no-one else. Growing up in New York in the 1970s\, Mark’s interest in jazz led him to meet many of the jazz legends at a time when Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis were at the height of their fame. His inspiration as a teacher comes from the idea of of passing on the wisdom of the great players of the past to today’s aspiring jazz pianists\, and doing so in a way that is engaging\, accessible and inspiring. \n \nA lot of us grew up with system of ABRSM piano exams with a focus on classical and romantic composers\, and for many the world of jazz and improvisation is as mysterious as it is intriguing. Mark uses a combination of workshops and seminars to help pass on the wisdom of the jazz masters of the past to the jazz enthusiasts of the future. \nAs with all of our weekend courses\, there is plenty of time for private practice on one of our beautiful acoustic grand pianos. At 7pm we have our pre-dinner talk or recital in cellars\, which is a chance to relax and be inspired\, before returning to the Coach House for dinner. \n \nMark’s classes cater for anyone with a keen interest in jazz and improvisation and is suitable for all ability levels. \nFor booking enquiries\, please contact Emma on 01580 428080 or fill in the form below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Weekend courses\n\n	from £475\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[cmsmasters_contact_form_sc formname="164" email="neil@finchcocks.com" fromname="wordpress"]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...
