INSTRUMENTAL SOLO
Tuesday 16 March and Wednesday 17 March 2027
Classes offered are for all upper and lower strings including harp and guitar, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments.
Most are in the traditional competitive format and all music played is free choice at an appropriate grade, allowing performers to play what appeals to them and what suits them musically. There is a non-competitive class for pre-Grade 1 standard.
Instrumental competitive classes are categorised by level rather than age. The four levels are: Elementary: Grade 1- 2 standard, Transitional: Grades 3-4, Intermediate: Grades 5-6, Advanced: Grade 7 and above (any examining board).
Awards
The Jennifer Paterson Award is given annually to the winner of the class for high achievers age 14 and under.
Thelma King Instrumental Award An advanced repertoire, Grade 8 and above standard, class with at least one piece from memory expected. A substantial money prize for the winner to use towards furthering their career will be awarded.
The Premier Award A concerto class carrying a monetary prize.
We offer classes for any combination of instruments including groups of 2- 4 players and ensembles for a maximum of 20 players, covering all school age groups.
