THE
UZZ
MARCH 2015
Welcome to the
March edition of the
Buzz.
For regular readers
I am very pleased to
say that February has
been just as predicted
in last months issue.
Weve
exceeded
targets for the second
month in a row with
a record number
of full-houses both
at weekends and in
mid-week slots. And were delighted with the
positive feedback weve received and have
done all we can to address any issues raised.
Again, Id like to say a huge thank you for all
your feedback which helps us to maintain
our high standards and improve things when
necessary. Some highlights from February
include the well-attended course with the
London Myriad Ensemble for pre-formed wind
groups, the Introduction to String Chamber
Music day course which we hope has inspired
string players to join one of our longer courses,
and the brand new Intermediate Chamber
Orchestra with Anthony Bailey which we hope
to repeat next year.
As we enter March we have another busy month
ahead of us. Spaces for the LuteFest at the end
of the month have already sold out (although
we can squeeze in a few more non-residents)
and we have a number of other slots which
are beginning to push our residential capacity. If
there are any courses you are interested in that
are coming up soon, please do get in touch to
avoid disappointment.
Another exciting up-coming event is the
Music Education Expo which takes place at

BENSLOW HONEY
Thanks to the bumper batch of honey
produced by the Benslow bee colonies during
2014, we still have plenty for sale. Jars cost 5
and make great presents for friends and family.
And for those of you who have bought honey
in the past, if possible could you return the jars
on your next visit? This helps us keep the costs
down and direct funds towards improving the
Benslow Music experience.
SUNDAY 21 JUNE
TEDESCA
Thanks to you and Jenny for another
excellent course. Thanks also to the Tedesca
Quartet. It was a pleasure to be there and,
always, listening to music that I have struggled
with is a wonderful experience.
Thank you also for your encouraging
comments. I get so tired on Benslow courses
that I even forget how to count sometimes
and the music leaps around in front of my eyes
but I left feeling very happy.
Your Group Quartets and String Orchestra
courses are just right for people who want
to make the next step from, say, Foundation
Strings. You both seem to make everyone in
the room feel that their presence is wanted irrespective of capability or talent.
Thank you again. I look forward to the String
Orchestra course. In between I will be
attending Janets Foundation Strings and I hope
she notices some improvement.
The Tedesca tutors are all excellent and their
concert is a definite highlight.
Both the coaching and the performance were
first-class.
Outstanding coaching from all tutors - each
brings a different aspect and emphasis to our
playing. A perfect team.
CLARINETFEST
This was an excellent weekend. Highly
organised and most efficiently run throughout.
We benefitted from three excellent tutors, all
with different personalities and approaches. A
good variety of music. I found it challenging at
times, stimulating and exciting too. It was my
first time on this course and I hope to come
again. The meals were delicious too.
LATE STARTER RECORDER
Evelyn Nallen is an inspirational teacher - she
is the reason I came again.
Exceptional teaching. Fabulous! The best of all
the many courses I have attended.
