Classical Music Courses 29 November 2007 The Anthony Hawkins Column Music courses, in bringing together those with like minds in a melting pot of talent and enthusiasm, can provide participants with some of their most enriching musical experiences, opening up avenues to the forging of relationships and the broadening of horizons.
As well as living and breathing music, a course can also provide a relaxing holiday experience, with many taking place in attractive and tranquil surroundings.

With the emphasis being directed towards the joy of music-making for its own sake, music courses’ activities are very often unfettered by the constraints habitually imposed on musicians’ preparations and concert-giving. The chance to really work on a piece in depth, through rehearsals, coaching and masterclasses, can increase a performer’s interpretive scope to generate new and deeper realisations. And, with ample opportunity for friendship-making (or ‘networking’ in its dysphemistic rendering!) music courses facilitate the blossoming of meaningful partnerships that may be carried forth into the wider musical world.
