Musical Instruments - Phrasing and Movement with William Newbery
The workshop will explore the direct relationship between physical movements and making music with an instrument. We'll explore the four basic phrase shapes, up beats and final notes and the critical role of conscious relaxation in playing an instrument. Participants are encouraged to bring along an example or two of passages they might like to work on and will have the opportunity to try out ideas with a few examples from me. Peer to peer learning will be encouraged, supporting your colleagues and constructive feedback between participants.

- A music stand if you have one
- An example or two of passages you might like to work on
