performance workshop which will be an informal class including some solo
items and a group piece. Again students are encouraged state on the form
the piece they are happy to perform to the group (with or without piano
accompaniment) and as many as possible of those who wish to perform a
solo will be accommodated.

The folksong workshop is primarily aimed at students of about Grade 5 – 6
who will be studying the Three Northumbrian Folk Songs by Margot Wright.
If you would like to perform in this class please indicate this on the form and
