Workshops

To encourage children to take-up and progress their playing of orchestral instruments at a young age, the Trust has developed a series of workshops.

Play. Listen. Learn. Workshops
There are very few opportunities for local musical young people to learn from some of the leading musicians in the country.  Therefore, the Trust has developed the Play. Listen. Learn. Workshops. The sessions are run by some of the best international professional musicians from around the UK on the same weekend that they perform as part of the Trust’s Recitals series.

Play:  Each attendee brings a piece of music that they are currently working on and performs for the musician running the workshop.
Listen:  The musician will then provide direct feedback on the piece, playing style and technique.
Learn:  In addition to the specific feedback on individual pieces, the musician will provide general performance advice which will help all attendees improve their playing ability and how they perform in concerts and during examinations.

To view the dates and times of these workshops and to read the biographies of the musicians, please see the Events Calendar.

To register for the Play. Listen. Learn. workshops, simply print, complete and return the GBRT Play. Listen.
