Our Practice Clinics are evolving and we’re excited to invite you to join our first session of the year, taking place live on Thursday 5th February at 18:30 GMT. In this session, Graham Fitch will answer questions submitted in advance by Online Academy subscribers on a variety of topics relating to practising.
Based on feedback from recent course participants, many of whom found the live studio session format incredibly useful, we’re developing the clinics to more ways to participate and opportunities to obtain feedback, guidance and inspiration!
What’s Different?
The Practice Clinics will now run as live events, with the option to join in real time via Zoom. We’re extending question submissions to participants in courses in addition to our subscribers. Participants may also choose to send a short video of their playing if they would like feedback or wish to demonstrate a specific issue.
Alongside this new structure, we’re planning further developments, including clinics focused on specific themes such as technique, performance preparation and interpretation, with guest convenors joining Graham and additional ways to take part.
