The True Meaning of Amateur

One of the rewards in our recent Crowdfunder Campaign was a chamber music coaching session. A group whose generous donation qualified for this reward recently undertook their session with  Michelle, which proved a hugely rewarding experience for all concerned. 

​Those who choose to re-visit their instrumental studies, or to take up an instrument in later life, often feel an understandable lack of confidence.  As adults, we are used to being competent, and whenever we challenge ourselves to do something new, we must overcome our initial insecurities.  What enables us to do that is our passion and our drive to do something we love.  What a pleasure it is to work with those who have chosen for themselves, and who are driven by a deep desire to play - they are true 'amateurs' in the very best sense of the word.
