Beauchamp House International
Holiday Music Courses 2010
The summer of 2010 marks 25 years of Beauchamp House Holiday Music Courses - a testimony to their success!
As so many of our students return year after year we can, in all honesty, say that we look forward to welcoming back
old friends - but also always delight in making new ones!
We believe that what makes our courses unique is our combination of
- high quality, inspirational tuition - from experienced music teachers/professional musicians,
- friendly atmosphere - where young people can make friends with other young musicians from across the country and from Europe
- enthusiastic Welfare staff - who care for/entertain/create the ‘fun’ element for the students when not being tutored - and
- camping in the Gloucestershire countryside.
Adults are very welcome on our summer courses (apart from the Singing Weekend).
