The course caters for all levels from beginners to advanced; there is no age limit – lower or upper. This is achieved by careful grading on the first day to determine your level on your instrument and your grasp of music theory so that you can be placed in classes that will benefit you most. Over 1,600 musicians of all ages and abilities have attended since 1984 including top UK players such as Paul Clarvis (d), Mark Mondesir (d), Michael Mondesir (b), Liam Noble (p), Theo Travis (saxophones) and Byron Wallen (t).
