The Performance Course has been developed for cellists of post grade 8 standard who may be considering performing as part of their future career. This is an action packed course in which students will explore ways to perfect, musically and technically, their solo, ensemble and orchestral performances. Students will have the opportunity to work with inspiring teachers at the top of their field. 

 

Students need to bring along two recently studied short pieces they wish to perform.
