Virtual Ingenium: Feedback and the future

 

We're so proud of what our students were able to achieve this summer, even though we were unable to come together in person. Over three fantastic weeks during July and August, we welcomed 69 young musicians representing 21 different nationalities to Virtual Ingenium.

 

Across six online programmes our students took part in a wide variety of in-depth sessions covering areas including improvisation, aural skills, performance anxiety, music history, composition, conducting and much more, led by some of the top professional musicians and educators in the UK.
