Welcome
This website contains details of the forthcoming 2009 Northern Recorder Course.
This year's tutors are Bob Berry, Brian Blood, Ruth Burbidge, Ruth Hayward, Steve Marshall, Andrew Melville, Alex Opsahl, Janice Ormerod, Pam Smith and Moira Usher. There is as ever a wide range of classes to choose from including '2000 years of New Music', 'The French Suite', 'Modality to Tonality', Elementary Recorder Technique and more.
The NRC has always been at the forefront of the development of the recorder orchestra since Dennis Bamforth first piloted it as a new recorder ensemble at the 1973 course. Last year we introduced the Chamber Orchestra and in 2009 there will also be an Easy Orchestra.This is tailored for those of more modest ability or for players who wish to explore the music and techniques of the Recorder Orchestra without having to stay committed for the full week or perform in the Course Concert.
You will find full details of the NRC on the various pages of this site including timetables and enrolment forms. The Archive section contains information about previous Courses to give a broader view of the breadth of tutors and music offered.
