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.
This course has now begun; observers are welcome at all sessions and a booking form can be downloaded here.
