Good Morning Folks
First there was Leicester, then came Manchester and now Yorkshire!!
StaxofSax are very much looking forward to hosting a saxophone play day in Thirsk on the 14th of October 2012.
The Venue is:-
The Rural arts centre
The old courthouse
4 Westgate
Thirsk
N. Yorkshire
YO7 1QS
The day is open to any player aged 11 and above with 12 months or more playing experience.
It will consist of 3 sessions, a large sax choir, small group work and performance and an improvisation session during the afternoon. This caters for all levels of improvisation, not just the experienced.
The large ensemble piece is arranged specifically to cater for the players we have booked. So the parts are manageable by everyone with some practice. We send the parts out 2 weeks before.
The small group session is based around playing a quartet/quintet arrangement and performing it to the best of your ability to the other groups.
after lunch the improvisation session starts with an introduction and guidance element, followed by breaking into groups to have a look at a jazz piece and practicing what you have learnt. Followed by a group performance to the other delegates.
The venue has plenty of car parking and there is an on site cafe for lunchtime. Everything a saxophonist should need for a good days playing.
If you would like to join us you can contact me either through the forum, or email staxofsax<<at>>gmail.com
Previously we have had quite a few forum members attend our workshops in Manchester and Leicester and for everyone that does attend from the forum, we make a donation to Pete's charity.
The cost of the day is £30.00 per person and is open to individuals and existing ensembles if you want to come as a gang.
Come and have a go folks, it must be fun as this is our 16th workshop so far.
Check out staxofsax on facebook to see videos and pictures of past events, including last weeks worskhop in Leicester.
Look forward to chatting with some of you soon
best wishes
