A short course for younger players
and an invited Quartet.
Friday 17th - Sunday 19th February 2012
Yorke Trust Creake Centre in North Norfolk.
The Norfolk courses are ideal for young bassists to join the Bass Club activities for the first time.
On the February Spring Basses course we aim to encourage first timers as a priority and we do invite players in as flexible a way as possible.
Sometimes it is possible for parents of our youngest students to stay nearby and help with some aspects of the course.
The main part of the course will concentrate on techniques and students will participate in carefully planned group work.
There will be concerts and masterclasses where students are encouraged to play within a very comfortable and supportive environment.
Free time will include cooking, games and enjoying visits to the wonderful countryside around. The Walsingham snowdrop walk is popular along with the various beach walks.
The February course will also include an invited quartet where promising students will have excellent opportunities to develop their playing within chamber music.
The Yorke Trust Centre is the spiritual home of the Bass Club.
The Yorke Trust was originally the umbrella organisation for the Yorke Mini Bass Project, which started 25 years ago to enable young players to begin the double bass with specially commissioned small double basses.
12 places are available for younger players and early booking is strongly recommended.
