The choice of music was great. The tutors very friendly and creating a good atmosphere amongst the two groups (instruments/singers).

I was thrown into the music with confidence and was encouraged to give my very best.

Good mix of choral alone and with the beautiful baroque wind instruments that make this course so unique.

Great music and so supportive and encouraging for my first outing with my sackbut. I loved the blending of singers and instruments.

The tutorial team was world class. They certainly met, and even exceeded what I had expected from the description when I booked. They met every challenge with exceptional grace and good humour, and were very motivational, helping us always to give our best. They were especially accommodating in getting together the smaller groups for 1/2 voices.
