StAMP Virtual Conservatoire
The Virtual Conservatoire extends StAMP and the aims and principles that underpin it to brass players of all ages and stages from anywhere in the world.
Mindfulness, playing by ear, discussion on creativity and communication in music, virtual play-alongs, discoveries from the 19th century and Howard Snell in conversation.
Join us for a session on mindfulness with Performance Coach Lee Holland to try some techniques to introduce mindfulness into your practice and performance. We then welcome back Honorary Professor of Jazz, Richard Michael, to again get us grooving with his infectious way of getting us all playing by ear. Professor Raymond MacDonald will then discuss and share his insights about creativity and communication in music, and invites everyone in preparation to listen to his favourite Beach Boys song! The Wallace Collection will then share some of their latest discoveries from the 19th century, in particular period arrangements of Haydn string quartets. Finally, doyen of the brass world Howard Snell will join us for a question and answer session: participants are invited to share their questions in advance.
