The Art of Accompanying

With Richard Shaw (piano)

This course is intended for musicians (from Grade 6 upwards) who want to develop their accompanying and duo playing skills. Each student (if wished) is given concert experience, in addition to advice in class on all aspects of performance and preparation. Pianists are welcome to bring along their own repertoire, although they should also prepare one or two movements or songs from the repertoire list below.

The class will work closely with members of Ensemble Lumière, with leading cellist Oliver Coates and flautist  Emma Williams, and with some of the many singers and instrumentalists (staff and students) attending the Summer School. Students are very welcome to attend as a duo or chamber group. The course is also directed at piano-playing singers and instrumentalists, keen to explore their accompaniments. Thanks to a private donation, there is a bursary available for this particular course.
