and wind Provisional ProgrammeA very full and varied programme of events is available to participants. The feedback we received after last years seminar was that participants wanted a longer course with a quiet day in the middle of the week. This year we have extended the course by a day and arranged that Thursday afternoon be left free. There will be the opportunity to arrange private lessons for those who want them. This should be done between the participant and the teacher. Monday Tuesday,
Wednesday & Friday Thursday Saturday Nights The Seminar culminates with a final concert in which the students and teachers participate. Evening Concerts Day Family Concert Dinner Concerts Every GMF workshop features outstanding musicians who are also great communicators. Under their guidance, participants gain valuable insights and playing experience, rehearsing together towards a concert. There are classes in the various musical disciplines such as instrumental technique, harmony, ensemble playing and improvisation, and, as well as teaching individually and in groups, the tutors give performances themselves. In addition, a unique sequence of activities is offered at a GMF workshop, which together stimulate self-awareness and creativity. Alexander

There is no upper age limit as our experience has shown that age difference isn't important where an enthusiasm for music is shared. The course is not aimed at complete beginners. You will benefit most if you already have some experience playing in a group, brass band, big band, wind ensemble or orchestra. LocationSituated between Florence and Siena, and facing San Gimignano, Certaldo Alto stands on a hill-top in the heart of the Elsa valley. In this enchanting village, history and traditions run deep: the author of "Decameron", Giovanni Boccaccio, lived here. The lanes and squares, dominated by the 12th century Palazzo Pretorio; the romanesque architecture; the 13th century paintings - all this makes an ideal setting for the arts and cultural events. The welcoming people of Certaldo, the convivial cuisine and the beautiful local crafts will all contribute to a delightful stay in Tuscany. Getting thereBy plane: the airports of Pisa (Galileo Galilei, connected to the railway) and Florence (Peretola) can be reached with a one-hour car-ride. By train: Certaldo is situated on the Florence-Siena line. By car: Take the highway Florence-Siena and exit at Poggibonsi Nord, then follow the direction "Empoli". Otherwise take the highway Florence - Pisa - Livorno, exit at Empoli Ovest and follow the direction "Siena". By bus: The SITA busses connect Florence to Certaldo. Distances
