RNCM Young Violas
Workshops for violas players aged 8 – 18 with at least one year of playing experience.
What is RNCM Young Violas?
RNCM Young Violas is a series of free workshops on viola playing. This is an exciting opportunity for young players of school age to develop creative, musical and technical skills through workshops held at the RNCM. Led by our experienced RNCM tutors, these workshops offer a chance to meet other players and receive expert tuition and advice on all aspects of playing.
What happens during the workshops?
There are sessions on solo and orchestral playing, various aspects of technique, improvisation plus a viola ensemble. There are often special guests, either from the RNCM or the wider music profession. The sessions will be participatory so expect plenty of playing.
Who can take part?
Anyone aged 8 – 18 with at least one year of playing experience.
RNCM Young Projects are completely free to attend, for all young players of school age (whether a beginner or more experienced) and there is no selection process – there will be something for everyone!
