Play by ear and develop your creativity, explore folk music, and learn from inspiring professional musicians.
Take part in a day of creative folk music workshops with other young musicians and, if you want to, audition for the National Youth Folk Ensemble.
To register for a Youth Folk Sampler Day you will need to:
• be aged 12-18
• live in England
• be able to play confidently on your chosen instrument
Each Sampler Day features:
• music workshops with folk musicians Sam Partridge, Rob Harbron and Miranda Rutter
• Q&A with Ensemble staff
• optional short audition, if you wish to apply for the National Youth Folk Ensemble (applicants need to be aged 14-18 on 1 September 2020)
Youth Folk Sampler Days are FREE to attend and open to players of any instrument. Playing and learning will be done by ear.
If you’ll be aged 14-18 on 1 September 2020 and you’re interested in joining the National Youth Folk Ensemble, you’ll need to attend a Sampler Day to start the audition process.
