Part allocations for sessions 2 & 3 are set by the tutors and listings are displayed on the noticeboard. Sessions 2 & 3 are repeated later in the week.   

Participants split into differing groups depending on the demands of the music and led by one of the tutors.  This may be a mix of instrumentalists and singers or just players.  The group make-up is displayed on the noticeboard.  These sessions are repeated again, later in the week. 

There is free time after lunch and an opportunity to sing in a choir led by Jenny Cassidy or you may wish to join an informal group with other attendees. 

The town of Malvern, it is just a short 12 minute walk, for that forgotten item or alternatively put your feet up under one of the trees on the college’s extensive site under the Malvern hills.
