Xmas, 2010 Options

More choir type stuff than anything, don't fancy that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I could teach you "twinckle, twinckle little star" beforehand...my masterpiece!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

EDIT: Just looked on their site, and just realised the wording is exactly the same. It does look more like choir stuff, but imagine they might be some limited opportunity for pianists.

If there were opportunities for pianists (and practice facilities) it would be great!

I also came up with a version of this... before I could read music.. properly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1tQ4gVnXKU

Now I know it is only March, and we have just about got over Xmas 09, but don't really want to wait a few months before asking this question. Benslow are having a Christmas House Party starting on 24th December for four days. I just wondered if anyone had ever been to this in the past.

A friend of mine has been, so I asked what she thought of it. She would have been in her sixties at the time, enjoys singing and plays clarinet and bass clarinet. She's also been to clarinet courses at Benslow.

She writes:
I can't remember how long ago it was; possibly 5 years or more. I enjoyed it a lot. The group was small and varied and the food and ambience (a roaring fire in the hall!) was good. Benslow has been up-grading its accommodation so its more comfy now and, if the weather is good, the garden is very good. Funnily, I can't remember a thing about the music we made! Much varied carolling, I think, and instrumental work for those who fancied it.

I just have booked a baroque chamber course of Benslow in August.

It is only 3 nights course.... I hope there are no many washing up for a group! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
(Altough I am good at it...)

I've been to Benslow lots of times, and have never heard of anyone having to do the washing up! Were the staff on holiday too? It's a lovely atmosphere there and I'm sure you will enjoy your course, oboe d'amore.

Thank you! I am so looking forward it!
I am also thinking to book Handel - The Chandos Anthems course in Dec.... if I was ok of August's course.(I hope my standard will not disturb people...) I shall see it.
Would be nice to see you in one of their course in the future. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
