Intensive study, equivalent to a whole term at a music conservatory - some 5 hours tuition per day, including supervised rehearsals, instrumental classes and one-to-one lessons.
A wealth of opportunities to sing and play: student concerts, nightly jam sessions and other spontaneous events
Free admission to over concerts given by members of the faculty and guest artists
A range of complementary disciplines to broaden your horizons: Jazz Choir, Pulse Training, Ear Training, Breathing and Body work all in an atmospheric small-town setting with friendly, convivial people.
The course provides first-class tuition and many opportunities to listen and perform. And, in keeping with GMF's philosophy, the course takes a broad view of music-making; the instrumental, vocal, rhythmic and physical disciplines together lead the participant towards new levels of understanding, concentration and awareness.
