An invaluable opportunity to practice performing and receive coaching on pieces from the CRCO or ARCO lists with RCO Accredited Teacher Julian Haggett using the fine organs at St Giles Cripplegate Church. This class is ideal both for those who are entered for the winter examination session and for those whose sights are set further ahead. Observer places will be made available once four playing places have been booked.
What to prepare
The class is limited to six players who will each have 25 minutes playing time, allowing for the performance of one or possibly two short pieces each from the CRCO or ARCO lists. Prepare at least one piece to performance or near performance-ready level. We will contact those booked to play near the time of the class asking them to list their chosen pieces in order of preference so that a varied programme can be assembled for the class.
