Performance Practice Sessions

The perfect opportunity to practice for exams, recitals or other performances. You will have 30 minutes of "exam conditions" to perform pieces and/or technical work that you nominate. You will receive verbal feedback at the time and a written report designed to assist dialogue with your teacher or mentor. You do not have to be enrolled for exams to benefit from a formal performance practice session.

Dates:

- 1pm - 5pm Sunday 9th June

More sessions will be scheduled throughout the year.
