Late Learners’ String Ensemble
Coach: Gillian Tarlton

This ensemble (for violins, violas, cellos and double basses) welcomes players of approximately grade 3-5 standard who wish to gain experience of playing in a group without the pressure of a full orchestra. The aim will be to explore repertoire, achieve quality of tone and tuning, and to develop ensemble skills while having fun in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.

Gillian Tarlton,  the tutor for the late learner strings is a widely experienced teacher and performer.  Since studying at the Royal College of Music, she has played violin with groups such as the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, The London Mozart Players and the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, as well as the Bloomsbury and Ashington Quartets.  She teaches both adults and children privately, and as a tutor with organisations such as London’s Centre for Young Musicians, where she has been on the staff for almost fifteen years.
