Classical Music, January '09

The weekends, led by Paul Roberts, are open to amateur pianists at all levels of proficiency and include a mixture of group teaching and individual lessons. Up to eight participants can be accommodated either at Langham House or in attractive accommodation close by. All meals and classes are at Langham House.

Participants can bring whatever repertoire they wish, though it is recommended that one piece should be of sufficient standard to play through to the group.

This season there is a superb Steinway model B in the music room, newly restored by Malcolm McKeand and John Paul Williams. A fourth digital keyboard will be added to the stock of practice instruments.

The cost for the weekend is £320. This includes all meals and refreshments, accommodation, tuition and the Saturday evening recital.
A deposit of £100 reserves a place.

Langham House is a Regency house with a varied history: it has seen life as a brewery, a small hotel of dubious respectability, and flourishing ‘rooms' with tea-gardens attached. It fell into sad decline over the past 50 years until its recent restoration as a family home.

Robertsbridge is a remarkably preserved medieval village in East Sussex, not far from the site of the Battle of Hastings, set in the midst of the High Weald, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Robertsbridge Abbey (alas not at all preserved) is of the greatest significance to European music: here keyboard music was written down for the first time.

Robertsbridge Station is within five minutes' walk, with a direct line to London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross.

Participants from outside the UK are advised to travel via London, unless arriving at Gatwick, from which there is a direct train to Tonbridge, with a connection to Robertsbridge.

We can advise further on travel arrangements. Those travelling by car will find very easy parking in the village.
