What is it?

A fun session of chamber music. Come alone or bring a few friends and we'll organise the rest.

 

Whether you've never played chamber music before or you already have an established group, this workshop caters to all string players wanting to improve their chamber music skills.

​

WAYACHAMP's unique WAYAJAM model sees students of all levels and abilities working on their chamber music skills. Students of similar levels are formed into trios and quartets and work on:

• technical developments in tuning, rhythm, pulse, blend and balance

• musical developments in expression, style and interpretation

• personal developments including teamwork, active listening and confidence

​​

The session culminates in a casual performance for participants' families to celebrate what we have learnt.

​

WAYAJAM events involve sight-reading. Music is provided from the simplest level so that everyone can participate. If you're up for a challenge, we have something for you too!​
