The Fundamentals of Woodwind Making and Repair Foundation programme has been designed for students who wish to pursue a career in woodwind instrument repair.
This one-year, full-cost, Foundation course can provide students with the opportunity to develop the underpinning skills and knowledge to progress.
Students are introduced to the basic elements of woodwind instrument repair and explore the skills, techniques and working practices required to diagnose faults.
Coursework is 'hands-on', however, students can also gain an understanding of the theories associated with wind instrument construction.
Applications to this course are made directly to the College.
Students will need to demonstrate commitment to the subject and some practical craft or woodworking experience is desirable.
Please note, the Foundation courses are for adults 18+.
There are no formal examinations for this course. Assessment is continuous and based on practical skills in making and repair, evaluated through tutor observation. In addition, a summative assessment will be completed through a portfolio of tasks completed throughout the academic year.
This is a full cost course, £4,000.
Details will be given at interview.
