Saturday, 25th June Rachael will be running her popular course - Music Theory Day This course is for those who are learning a musical instrument at the moment but are perhaps baffled by the rudiments of music, despite knowing how to play. This Theory Day will boost your confidence with counting beats and breaking down tricky phrases into easier sections, understanding keys, cleffs and time signatures and for woodwind players it will help you understand the other realm that is the bass cleff and the notes with this. A day to hone your musical knowledge and further develop your musical theory, which in turn will boost your playing skills. Ideal for woodwind / piano players and all other musicians alike - whether you're self taught or you currently have lessons. Perfect for beginners to more knowledgeable students. This course is for people 18 years or older. Places are limited. For further information and tickets please drop me an email - rachaelforsyth at btinternet dot com Times: 10am - 2pm - Tea and coffee will be provided. Venue: Enfield.
