RONDO VIOL ACADEMY
Alison founded the Rondo Viol Academy with fellow viol player and teacher Jacqui Robertson-Wade. The RVA runs courses aimed at players of a particular standard, so there are Elementary courses, Intermediate courses and Upper Intermediate courses. There is a small amount of set repertoire for each course, so that people can work out what level they would be most suited to, then everyone is of a similar standard so consorts can be balanced and teaching tailored accordingly. The RVA is particularly designed to give new players a good way in to consort playing, without going on a week long course and feeling out of their depth for most of it! Many players come on these courses as beginners, and stay until they are very competent players because they like the encouraging but technical approach, and the careful selection of repertoire.
