Meurig Thomas Visit – 10th and 11th September 2021

We were very fortunate to have Meurig Thomas for a weekend. Meurig is a music educator, examiner and pianist.
Our students were able to take part in a workshop discussing performance skills, sight-reading, aural and general musician.
A group of our students took part in a Masterclass, performing as soloists and receiving helpful feedback from Meurig.
Meurig has also spent with many students individually, to focus specific areas of their musicianship.
On Saturday, all of our teachers were fortunate to take part in a workshop led by Meurig, focusing on new ways of incorporating aural skills into our daily teaching.
