Amherst Early Music offers classes for keyboard players, adult amateur pianists, church organists, up--and-coming harpsichord professionals. Harpsichord master class, instruction on basso continuo, keyboard topics, and Baroque ensembles. We provide a variety of single and double manual harpsichords, and also virginals and clavichords for students to use during the workshops.
Weekend Workshops.
The 2021 Festival will be online, and not on the campus of Connecticut College. We are all disappointed, BUT... We are working on a hybrid model for next summer which would include an online Festival AND in-person classes in certain locations on the weekends before and after the online Festival. In the coming months we’ll work on the program based on safety, logistics, and convenience. Watch this space!
