at LAVETHAN, CORNWALL
String players and chamber groups including pianists are invited to Cornwall for an
inspirational week of music-making at Lavethan, an ancient manor house in a secluded river
valley. We have space for 16 students, either in pre-formed groups or as individuals, to
immerse themselves in great music in a beautiful setting, with good company, delicious food
and time to explore the fabulous surrounding countryside.
Alongside in-depth chamber coaching and instrumental lessons, on this course we pay special
attention to the use of our body in music-making, exploring the crucial role of body language
in musical expression. We take a fresh look at the inter-related disciplines of Physiotherapy,
Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais, and find out how they can help us deal with
occupational aches and pains. In our group sessions we think about stage presence and
discover ways to enliven communication in chamber music; and towards the end of the week,
we hold concerts in our beautiful Barn.
