Class size is 10 students max.  

The courses begin at 10am on the Monday and end Friday lunchtime.  Each day there are 4x1hour classes (except on Friday, when classes end at 1pm).

Evening events this September include:

a session with the Dunkeld & District Strathspey & Reel Society;

a Curry Night at the Darjeeling Indian Restaurant;

a recital by me & Ron Shaw ('cello)at Murthly Castle;

a class & session at the Taybank featuring special guest tutor! 

(Watercolour painting and fly fishing for brown trout are other possibilities!!)

BOOK EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!

During the week, various aspects of technique, style and performance are addressed via a comprehensive range of repertoire.  Teaching is in the first instance without sheet music ... BUT every student is given a book containing "dots" for the tunes covered during the course.

Students are encouraged to suggest in advance aspects of technique or repertoire on which they would like to focus.

After-lunch excursions provide visitors with opportunities to see something of Dunkeld, its surroundings and its wildlife.

IF INTERESTED, PLEASE DO LEAVE A MESSAGE IN MY GUESTBOOK AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU!
