RCO Keyboard Musicianship Classes November 2020

The RCO have just added a new study level to the Keyboard Musicianship Classes taking place on the five Monday evenings during November, 18:00–19:00 (GMT). This uses the Level 6 lessons in Graded Keyboard Musicianship Book 2 (OUP 2017) by Anne Marsden Thomas and Frederick Stocken. 

As well as being of general benefit to all players (pianists as well as organists), the Level 6 lessons will be of particular use for anybody considering taking CRCO
