The group consisted of about 60 people (all except four British) and 10 tutors. All sessions were open to everybody, no special grade required. There was a lot of choice, from Renaissance music up to 21th century music, and a tutti session every evening.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Some sessions one could do for a couple of days in a row, others were just once. Some were with only 5 people, others with 25. The room was good and so was the food. I especially enjoyed the cakes, gateaux and biscuits.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Back in the Netherlands I have to get used to not playing anymore for 7 hours a day and to be on a diet without sweets. The first thing is by far the most difficult!\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I look forward to next year, a different venue but friendly people and a lot of playing.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Thanks to Jan and Pam who have made this possible.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em><strong>Els Huijvenaar<\/strong><\/em>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had subscribed for my first ERC in 2020, but because of Covid I had to wait until 2023 until I could go.\u00a0 \u00a0 As my train arrived on Alfreton station at 20:01 I knew I was too late for &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/?page_id=828\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-828","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":829,"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/828\/revisions\/829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.recordersforall.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
