Some previous happy customers:
“I just wanted to say a huge thanks for a wonderful week. I can’t thank you and the musical theatre team enough for creating such a supportive environment for A in which she could succeed – she feels really proud tonight and so do I. The concert from start to finish was absolutely brilliant.” Steph, August 2023
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for such an excellent week. T has come home buzzing and it’s been really good for him to try different instruments (we got a full run down of how to hold a violin earlier in the week!) We are really grateful for the patience you showed him. Today’s concert was just fab! Thank you again, we would definitely love to enrol Ted for future things!” Sophie, August 2023
“Just wanted to say thank you for such a fantastic week and concert tonight! Hats off to all of you. S had an absolute blast and is very sad it’s over. We will be back next year! Hope you all have a well deserved break this weekend!” Sonal, August 2023
“Huge credit to the team for their wonderful inclusivity and heartfelt thanks for the inspiration and guidance they offered to my new musician.” Amanda, August 2023
“It is so lovely to watch all the children from those just beginning to some of the older very accomplished players, I remember from my childhood how inspiring it is as a younger child to hear older players and hope one day to be like them.” Claire, 2022
“E really enjoyed playing in the senior wind band – she found it a challenge at first but was really proud with what she had learnt and achieved by the end of the week – a fantastic motivating experience for her. We thought the concert was fabulous.” Gillian, Aug 2021
“Thank you so much for a wonderful week, all 3 of my children really enjoyed their time and very much enjoyed working towards the concert at the end. It was also the first time my son had felt confident enough during the step up to music concert to play his violin to more than just our family so it was lovely to see his confident grow, in particular. He has only been learning since January and this was quite a big deal for him as he didn’t even feel quite ready to show his class at school.” Fiona, August 2021
“Huge credit to the team for their wonderful inclusivity and heartfelt thanks for the inspiration and guidance they offered to my musician. It was amazing to attend the concert and hear what the group of strangers had accomplished in a few days and lovely to see that new friendships and acquaintances had formed. I’d searched for an opportunity for her for the summer, I was delighted to find something in our home town. We will definitely book with you again!” Bedford Main course parent, August 2023
