One of the most admired British composers of his generation, Andrew Toovey is also an experienced, sensitive and inspirational teacher. On this midweek course he advises and encourages, enabling students to find their own voices while developing the sometimes painful skills of self-criticism and self-editing. He’ll use his own work as examplars and offer insights into what the life of a professional working composer really entails. We’ll willingly put Andrew in touch with applicants in advance so that he can offer you guidance on how to prepare. We encourage concurrent courses to collaborate.
