Summer school rep
on: August 04, 2012, 11:08:21 PM
I'm going to the Chethams Summer School in a couple of weeks (piano course in the UK). I've never been to a piano course type thing before and so I don't really know what to expect. It is open to any level and you get individual tuition, so I'm guessing it will be a masterclass type setup (I think we'll be able to sit in on each others' lessons).

I'm debating what to take with me to play (I don't know who my teacher will be). At the moment I've got the following:

Ravel: Lever du jour (Daphnis et Chloe)
Albeniz: Triana (Iberia)
Fujikura: Deepened Arc

I don't know if that's too much repertoire for 6 hours of tuition. The Ravel is my own transcription and I'm mainly taking it to see if anyone would be interested in playing it (basically advertising), the Albeniz is a piece that I have learned but need help where to go from here and the Fujikura is something I play well and would like outside help on fine tuning (though the composer himself has offered to listen to me, so maybe I won't take this one).

I'm mainly concerned about whether or not I'm taking too much/taking the right sort of stuff/taking the right stuff for the right reasons...

Have others done these course/school type things and what were they like?
