Joyce Fisher Mentoring Programme

Thanks to generous sponsorship by the Joyce Fisher Charitable Trust, the KBB Music Festival is able to make a number of awards each year that can be used in any way you like to target specific areas you would like to see improved about your own musical leadership. The mentoring programme offers participants four 90 minute sessions with a director/s from an established KBB Music Festival ensemble, or another musician with significant experience, which can be used in any way they feel would benefit them.

Suggestions include:

• Guest conductor

• Assistance with conducting-technique / score preparation

• Rehearsal observation (observing the conductor and giving feedback on what works and doesn’t work)

• Tuning workshops

• Specific instrumental workshop – e.g. strings, flutes, trombones, percussion…

• Choosing repertoire

• Establishing a ‘culture’ within a musical ensemble

• Other areas in which mentoring is requested

Joyce Fisher Mentoring Awards will be announced each year as part of the Gala Concert celebrations.
