"It is hard to
explain the great impact Musicworks has had and continues to have on
my musical life. Chamber music is something that I hugely enjoy as
it enables me to communicate my musical ideas with others and I have
met some of my best friends through Musicworks. Musicworks also
gives me and other people my age the rare and fantastic opportunity
to work with real professional musicians who are absolutely
inspirational and particularly good at working with people of my
age. I strongly believe that Musicworks inspires its attendants to
strive for the very best in terms of their performances and the
final products of the course are always of an extremely high
standard. I truly, believe that
Musicworks is the most enriching experience and a real highlight of
my whole year."
"Over the course of
this programme, I have received and benefited from some of the
finest chamber music coaching available to young musicians like
myself. Ensemble skills such as playing as part of a group,
interpretation and the general understanding of music, presentation
and improvisation skills are just some the key things which have
developed and contributed to my general musical progress as a result
of this course. "
"The balance of intense
chamber music studies with other activities was well made.
Improvising sessions were particularly enjoyable for me and I was
astonished at some of the material that we as groups were capable of
producing by just improvising. I also enjoyed the wide variety of
leisure activities that were available to us.
I also enjoyed the company of many fine,
able, young musicians in a very friendly and sociable atmosphere,
yet maintaining the intensity and passion for chamber music. The
week and a half were very enjoyable, and being able to get together
with such people together with the specialist staff to explore some
of the most marvellous music written, has been an invaluable
experience for me."
