The Exhale returns

The inaugural edition of violinist Gwendolyn Masin's The Exhale, saw some 250 participants sign up for classes with leading international artists and teachers, including cellists Natalie Clein and Gary Hoffman and violinist Robert Gonzalez Monjas. Masin has decided to continue The Exhale in a series of weekly events over the coming months, and beginning this week there will be a new range of classes.

Music educationalist and clarinettist Paul Harris will be leading a series of workshops on Music Theory, which started on Tuesday with Does Theory Matter? Paul will help course participants to find ways of making the inclusion of theory a meaningful part of their instrumental or singing lessons.

Violinists Peter Sheppard-Skaerved and Pavlo Beznosiuk return to The Exhale to lead a range of classes on the Violinists' Practice Desk, learning Corelli's violin sonatas and the essentials of Baroque orchestral music. Cellist Ruth Phillips, creator of The Breathing Bow, leads a class on how to approach Bach's Cello Suites through breath and kinesthetic learning. Gwendolyn Masin herself will be taking a class on teaching beginners.

The next edition of The Exhale began on 2 June. Classes are hosted via Zoom and booking can be made through Calendly;
