Spend the weekend in the Cotswolds!
Hawkwood
is a lovely eighteenth-century country house enjoying spectacular views
towards the River Severn and the Forest of Dean Hills. The house itself has
extensive grounds for you to enjoy. Spend a quiet half-hour in the library
or explore the beautiful Cotswold countryside and the picturesque,
unspoilt village of Painswick. Participants stay in single or shared rooms
in the stable block at Hawkwood or in the main house itself. Hawkwood is
also renowned for its tasty, home-made food! The classes take place in one
of six large studios and also in the Concert Hall (with a Bechstein
grand piano).
Workshops over the weekend include repertoire classes, techniques (breathing, sound, articulation, finger agility and posture), ensemble playing, individual sessions with piano and some individual flute lessons. The course is suitable for flautists from Grade 5 to diploma level. Participants should bring a selection of their own music they would like to play (solo and solo with piano) including a study.
On Saturday evening, Emma and Richard give a recital (admission is free for all Hawkwood participants).
