The WA Young Artists Chamber Music Program (WAYACHAMP) was established in 2011 to provide a unique opportunity for music students aged 10 to 17 to participate in an intensive course of chamber music study under the tutelage of Western Australia’s leading string and piano teachers. Chamber music plays an important role in facilitating and fostering the careers of many young musicians. In its unique

form, chamber music provides an opportunity for young musicians to explore the ‘nexus between the spirit of collaboration and the expertise of the individual performance’. (Chamber Music Australia)

The Program includes the 2 annual school holiday programs, term programs, Jam days, the WAYACOMP, plus other special events. For more information on this year's Programs, head to www.wayachamp.com or email Sophie at [email protected]

This group is working on different strategies to help refine pieces they are working on.

Playing back-to-back opens up the ears incredibly well, helping them to notice any moments that are out of sync. It’s amazing how much quicker they are able to adjust and actually play much better together!

Let us know in the comments if you have tried this one!

It was an honour to present my work, ‘Pedagogical materials for string chamber music learning’ at the International Society for Music Education IVMTC Pre-conference yesterday in Quebec! It has also been inspiring to hear of the scholarship and approaches of other music educators from around the globe, as well as experts in health and wellness and music psychology, among those particularly, Professor Gary McPherson. Looking forward to presenting next at the main conference in Montreal!
