On Campus Sessions
Each week of Blas features a number of sessions held on campus at the university. These are often lead by local session musicians with some of the master class tutors joining in.
The Blas sessions are an ideal opportunity to practice some of the repertoire learned in class in a more social setting. Sessions can feature a great mix of music, song and dance where everyone is given an opportunity to join in.
