Marin Community Music School welcomes pianists, string players, and wind players to play trios, quartets, and quintets under the guidance of pianist Nick Romeo.
We welcome players of all ages who have at least an intermediate level of skill on a stringed or woodwind instrument or piano and proficiency at reading music. We’ll help you go deeply into your assigned masterwork from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern repertoire.
In five weekly sessions starting February 1, you’ll spend two hours exploring and preparing your piece for a private performance on March 8 for workshop participants and their invited guests. You may register either in a pre-formed group or as an individual, in which case we’ll place you in an ensemble with compatible players.
Workshop Fees and Policies
The workshop cost is $252. Financial aid is available. A credit card is required to register. Your card will be charged automatically on the first day of each month for meetings in the coming month. As this is a group activity, absences cannot be made up.
