Our course provides an intensive music training opportunity. Every student will receive the opportunity to perform at least one solo work throughout the week; and by the end of the course, everyone should be prepared to perform at least one new work in the form of a duet, chamber group or orchestra. Practice and preparation are crucial and will be essential for success.
All participants will receive a detailed daily schedule, tailored for the individual, prior to the start of the course. Each student will be allocated into different groups based on their instrument, level and age. Each group will be led by a specially appointed tutor who will manage their daily living & musical arrangements, making sure that fun is a part of learning.
