Hi Everyone,

I've been looking at a Piano Summer School website. It looks fantastic, a bit expensive but I expect you'd get so much out of it. Has anyone ever been to a piano summer school, if so I'd be interested to know what you thought of it and how it improved your performance.....

Also anyone know of a piano summer school based in the UK?

Thanks!

wow! i've never heard of it! do you know if there is summer school in other places too? (i.e southern africa?)

Summer School for Pianists

Hereford

I have n't been to this, (I got a flyer in the post) but it looks interesting.
There seem to be some good people in the line-up.

How embaressing, I live 3 minutes walk from Magdelene College and I've never heard of the weekend

This year's Cambridge Piano weekend has been and gone.. now booking for 2005, I think.
I went to the Hereford one a couple of years ago (Teachers' Course) - please PM me if you want an in depth report.. Also went to a couple at Little Benslow Hills. Finally realised that for the same cost ( around £450?) I could have around 10 individual hourly lessons from a 'top' teacher. That's what I'm now, very happily, doing; and, for me, this is proving far better value for money.
