Leeds Intermediate Course

Saturday 14th March 2015

September 20th & 21st, October 26th, November 29th, January 10th 2015, February 14th, March 14th & 15th.

This consists of an opening and closing weekend with four one-day sessions between, all spread over 7 months. The final weekend includes a shared performance for friends and family. The course is designed for those who conduct a choir regularly and wish to develop the technique they already have. Participants are required to have regular rehearsal opportunities with a choir as work set between course dates will necessitate this. There is also an element of written work looking at programming and arranging for your choir.

The course is accredited by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and is accepted as a substitute for the DipABRSM (Music Direction) which allows students who have successfully completed the course to proceed to the LRSM (Music Direction), provided they meet the ABRSM's formal entry requirements.

Course fee; £585 abcd members, £620 non-members

Observers are welcome at all sessions, £15 abcd members, £20 non-members.
