Join A UK Intensive Course For French Horn Players Led By Master Musicians

Join The UK Intensive Course For French Horn Players Led By Master Musicians

Are you tired of being in the background of an orchestra? French horn players are often underappreciated and not given the same opportunities for training as other musicians, but that's about to change!

The National Youth French Horn Ensemble has launched a week-long intensive course where French horn players will be taught by some of the UK's best musicians! The course runs from August 22nd to 27th in Cheltenham.

The organizers feel that French horn players throughout the UK can benefit from a training course structured solely around that instrument since most events have them as only a small part of a larger orchestra.

The course will involve structured lessons from professional orchestral players and teachers for individual technique, multiple arrangements, and original pieces crafted for "Horn Choir." You will be involved, likely for the first time, in an event where the French horn truly takes centre stage!

The event does have strict requirements, including a Grade 8 standard of playing or higher, though a certificate of proof is not required.

There are 16 seats available at the event, not including the teachers and audience.

The course will be led by Tim Thorpe, Principal Horn of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and Tom Taffinder of the Welsh National Opera and Birmingham Royal Ballet.

At the end of the two entirely separate events, musicians will come together to perform two new works composed specifically for the 20 percussionists and 16 horn players.

Included in the application should be your contact details, experience level with the French horn, and the repertoire you're currently studying.

The application should also include some details about your ambitions in upcoming years, and the reasons you would like to join the NYFHE course.
