Since 2022, we have collaborated with The Northern Chamber Orchestra who provide tutors to run masterclasses in orchestral strings, winds and brass instruments each term. These are open to MMC members and non-members alike.
Sounds intriguing – what is a masterclass?
A masterclass is an open lesson where participants work at a piece of music they are studying with the tutor. Both participants and audience learn so much from these sessions. During the hour long session up to 4 or 5 participants can play.
Sounds a bit scary – is it only for advanced players?
Not at all. Musicians at any stage of their musical learning journey are very welcome to participate. This is the third year that the NCO has been sending tutors in and musicians at all levels have enjoyed the sessions from pre-grade 1 to grade 8. The tutors are always very positive and encouraging.
Sounds like fun – when are they happening?
Check out our Term Dates and Events page for upcoming masterclasses.
How do I register?
