overview

Our week-long, residential course has been running for over five years and is designed for students aged 8-17, who are a minimum ABRSM Grade 3 standard in their main instrument.

It has become very popular, with many students coming back year-after-year. This allows us to welcome new students into a friendly, family-like musical community, of which we are particularly proud.
