I'm just recovering from the weekend summer school with Chris Sands held in the Lake District. What a lovely weekend! It was my first time meeting Chris and I have to say that his classes were rigorous and invigorating. He is a wonderful teacher. In a day and a half, we prepared four tunes for performance, plus went through numerous exercises focusing on both the left and right hand technique. Everyone left exhausted but with a great sense of accomplishment and with lots to work on through the year. Anyone who has the chance to attend a class with Chris should jump at the opportunity. They will not be disappointed.
