While this course is designed to encourage talented young pianists to expand their technical skill, it will also develop your musical comradeship with other like-minded young musicians. You will receive a one-to-one lesson every morning; afternoons are devoted to individual practice and to the coaching of ensemble music. You should bring the pieces you are currently studying, and should expect to play a piece of your own choice at the first session.

Entertainment
Recreational activities will be organised outside teaching hours, including an outing on Wednesday afternoon for all students under the age of 18 (optional for 18 - 21-year-olds)

House-parents
Outside teaching hours, house-parents will be on duty at all times.
