Programme Information:

 
That Inventive Bach- informal keyboard master class with Micaela Schmitz, harpsichord & clavichord. (Event 3)

Micaela Schmitz (clavichord)

teaching a demonstration at the Birmingham Conservatoire, October 2006

 
Limited to 12 players, (advance booking recommended), this course will include time with clavichord and harpsichord in two rooms. You need no prior experience with these early keyboards instruments to participate. Micaela will guide players to achieving a good basic tone and an appreciation of what these wonderful instruments can do for our keyboard technique. The focus will be on Bach’s ever-useful Inventions and the Well Tempered Clavier.

Some guidance on preparation:  For the Bach workshop, no, you do not need to prepare all the 48l! The inventions and sinfonias have a lot to teach us, so don't feel pressured to prepare many.  I find the inventions in two parts a much better starting point than the 48 for those trying a new instrument.  Try to bring something you feel fairly comfortable playing on your regular instrument.

Under 16s w/ workshop ticket (event 2-or 3)– attend concert (event 1) free.

 

Now open to Grade 4 and up!
