Violin Intensives master classes in Cornwall with Composer and violinist Sue Aston
Also includes help with stage fright and anxiety
2 miles from Prussia Cove Cornwall
Cornish Composer Sue Aston has appeared on professional classical recordings, radio broadcasts, and television, both nationally and internationally, and worked with eminent musicians such as: Simon Rattle, Nigel Kennedy (violin), Peter Donohoe, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Charles Groves, Esa Pekka Salonen, Gordon Giltrap and Chris De Burgh.
I offer tuition to people who want to take the opportunity to immerse themselves in music for an hour or so during the daytime or evening.
This leaves the majority of the day to explore or simply relax in the beautiful
Cornish Landscape. The nearest town Penzance is 2 miles away and the World
famous IMS masterclass sessions take place in Prussia Cove which is also 2 miles
away. There is a rich tradition in music throughout the area.
Accommodation is not included although we can help recommend places to stay
where we have close contacts and arrange transport to and from your lesson if
required
Perhaps there is something in particular that you would like to achieve with

Press Release (Cornishman)
Sue Aston, a professional violinist and
composer, hosts intensive violin sessions
Sue Aston, a professional violinist and composer, from
Goldsithney (near Prussia Cove) Cornwall holds regular
intensive courses
for violinists.
Students are travelling from as far away as California USA,
Tokyo Japan as well as from across Britain to enjoy a period of intensive
study with Sue, who holds violin teaching courses regularly throughout the year.
Sue says,’ My aim is to give people the opportunity to take time out of their
hectic working schedule, and come to a beautiful part of the world, where they
can draw inspiration from the landscape, which will in turn inspire their music
making. The students themselves are from many different backgrounds, and quite
often want to achieve different goals. I coach students who are aiming to enter
Music College, as well as adults who play for pleasure and who want to take
their playing ability to a new level.’ I am taking bookings right up to
the end of 2008'
