I had no idea we would be such a select few – and that was an added bonus. So much personal attention and one to one tuition. Really great in all respects. It is a really lovely venue.”

“This course is one of the best things that I have ever done. An astounding opportunity that I cannot recommend highly enough. Don’t dream it, do it! I made some wonderful friends for life. It was Singing Teacher Heaven! We talked singing all week, and nobody thought we were odd! Lovely site in a beautiful situation. I just wish I’d brought a map of the area to find some better walks – not that there was much time for walking, with everything else to pack in Altogether, they were excellent facilities, and I can’t imagine anywhere better.”
