Courses & Workshops 2008

Flute Weekend (10 - 12 October)

Emma Williams - flute & Richard Shaw - piano

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 or in the Concert Hall (with a Bechstein grand piano). 

"Thank-you for a very good weekend indeed and plenty of inspiration and encouragement!"

"We had a wonderful and very valuable time." 

"Thanks so much to both of you for everything!" 

"It was great.  Thanks for all the feedback, for the encouragement, the evening recital, and a motivating weekend generally.  What a gorgeous venue - and it felt like ideal weather to be playing something called Sunstreams!"

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).
