‘It was a very memorable week for me. The chance to receive coaching from established industry professionals, Imogen and Felicity, was a dream come true! There are many aspects I enjoyed and benefitted from such as the hospitality and location, which really aided productive learning. However what I think sets this course apart from any other I have attended is the high calibre of the other participants. I had an opportunity to work with an extremely talented pianist which could form a potentially career changing partnership. In such an environment as this you really get to know the tutors and other participants which time often doesn’t permit outside of a course like this. This allows you to really benefit from everyone’s expertise.’
