A fun course looking at serious issues. As no-one is rehearsing or performing with others at the moment it might be an ideal time to look at some more neglected aspects of playing in order to hit the ground running when we all return. </p><p class="website" ><a itemprop="url" target="_blank" href="https://benslowmusic.org/index.asp?PageID=2872">Benslow Website</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}
