Players at all levels are welcome and we aim to have groups of players who are well matched in experience. Matters of technique will be discussed as they arise from the consort music from the 16th and 17th centuries including composers such as Coprario, the Ferraboscos, Holborne, Byrd, Lawes and Jenkins.
Students wanting material to practise are invited to contact us and we will get in touch. If you have not been to NORVIS before, please provide us with an indication of your experience as a consort player, and any problems or matters of technique which you would like to address during the course.

NOTE – the following information may be revised.
The lute and guitar class is organised on a flexible basis according to the needs of the students. Topics will include solo repertory, technique and ensemble playing skills. A collection of graded solos pieces and duets will be available to download HERE from the NORVIS website.
Students may prepare one or multiple pieces from this list, together with a piece or pieces of their own choice. If you need advice on this, or any other matter, please contact the tutor at chalumeau.mackenzie@gmail.com
Modern guitarists who are curious about the lute or early guitars are welcome to both sessions.
