Musical Instrument Repair Courses 2008
(Courses are listed in chronological order under the
specialism heading)
Foundation Courses (5 Days):
These courses are suitable for complete beginners, or those with a
little experience of instrument repair.
You will be part of a group of no more than six students, enabling
considerable one to one tuition and a spacious working environment.
A thorough grounding in repair and maintenance procedures will be
given; using tried and tested tools and techniques.
Open House Workshop Sessions (2 Days):
New Courses
These are two days workshops for those with some previous repair
experience: The courses aim to provide a relaxed workshop
environment in which students bring their repair problems and
questions to be addressed. These are ideal ‘follow up’ sessions for
anyone who has already completed a foundation course, and possibly
needs to recap on certain techniques and procedures. Detailed
demonstrations will be given, and you will be given help with your
own repairs. In terms of the level of these courses; they fall
between the foundation and advanced. No more than six students will
be accepted on these courses. Courses are more relaxed and less
formally structured then Foundation and Advanced courses. Students
will benefit from the multitude of repairs addressed by the group.
Advanced courses (2/3 Days):
These courses are suitable for those with some previous repairing
experience.
Diagnostic and repairing skills are developed to a higher, more
professional level. The content will be geared in part, to the
specific needs of the students.
All Other Courses
All other 2 day courses are suitable for those with no previous
repairing experience; however a good level of general practical
skill is desirable.
For courses concerned with Orchestral and Fretted stringed
instruments you will need to have good woodworking skills. Please
enquire for more information on this.
