What the Students say

EASTER COURSE

'Huge thanks to you and your excellent team of tutors and facilitators (especially Colin) for arranging such a truly Rolls Royce (or Bentley) of residential jazz courses and making Hythe the jazz capital of the Universe for five days and nights in April!'

Thank you for organising the course, which I honestly can say was the best week of my life! The course’s secure environment allowed me to feel at ease enough to push my comfort boundaries during the nightly performances, exploring and applying the principles I had learned throughout the day.’

Fulfilled my aims of developing experience performing in different settings and extending my skills working with other musicians. Great teaching. Would highly recommend this course to others.’

You really inspired me with confidence and helped me do things I never normally would have the courage to try. You also opened all sorts of musical doors for me and I came away with lots of exciting things to work on.’



SUMMER COURSES

'I joined the
Summer Course as a drummer and left as a musician.'

'I learned more
in this week than in months of lessons.'

A fantastic musical experience. I would definitely come again, even if you hold it in a barn.’

A lot of personal attention and the willingness to listen and respond to the needs and wants of the students. A fantastic experience. I loved it.’

'I attended last year and it was totally engaging, really fulfilling and completely exhausting! I look forward to seeing some of the good folks again - both tutors and students - and the long nights of music in the bar.'

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Life changing! Thank you. You have opened so many doors for me. I can't wait to work with you all again.’


VOCAL FOUNDATION WEEKEND

'Had a fantastic
, scary, difficult, challenging, exhilarating, hilarious, sad and amazing time. THANK YOU! for providing such a warm, supportive and encouraging environment to learn and conquer our fears. Had a fantastic weekend. Am exhausted but exhilarated.'

'Lee Gibson is a stunning vocalist and a fantastic singing teacher. Lee quickly determined our strength and weaknesses. She has a very inclusive teaching style and seeks to involve everyone in a way which is non-threatening. Her wide experience as a gigging vocalist at the highest level was evident. Any criticism was at all times constructive and focussed. This is very important for vocalists, who can sometimes feel very exposed, particularly as there were a variety of styles and levels of experience within the group. This course is a very worthwhile event, where singers can gain first rate performance experience in a non-threatening environment.'

The tuition has been excellent and I have learnt so much in such a short space of time. My confidence has grown throughout the course and I am inspired by the whole experience. This is an excellent course.'
