We’re so excited to share some more information with your about our exciting summer school taking place over the holidays! Please find all the important details below.
DATES: 21st – 25th August
TIMES: 9am – 5pm daily
COST: £235 per child (15% discount for a sibling)
VENUE: The Academy Building
15 Pratt Mews, Camden, NW1 0AD
Throughout the week we’ll be exploring music from lots of different angles, using instruments, voices and imagination to broaden students’ knowledge of dozens of genres. No previous experience is necessary, as our expert teachers will cater to all abilities and make sure nobody is left behind. All we ask is that students come with an open mind and a willingness to get stuck in and have fun!
At the end of the week, we will hold a special showcase, sharing everything we’ve been working on with friends and family. This is always the highlight of our holiday camps, and never fails to inspire students and parents alike!
As we know the holidays can be a stressful time, especially for working parents, we always aim to make your lives as easy as possible. With that in mind, we provide a 30 minute breakfast club free of charge at the beginning of each day and can also provide students with lunch (for a daily supplement of just £2). Additionally, we provide fresh fruit and soft drinks for break times. Students are also very welcome to bring their own packed lunch and snacks. Whatever makes your life easier! (An allergy/preference form will be sent to you alongside the course registration form and safeguarding document.)
As well as taking part in the group classes, each student is also encouraged to keep a journal throughout the week. This takes the form of a scrapbook and is a lovely memento for students to take away with them at the end of the course. The final thirty minutes of each day will provide a chance for them to discuss what they’ve learnt and update their journal, although many students also enjoy adding to this in their free time at home. But this is totally up to each student, and should not be thought of as “homework” – it is the holidays, after all!
We’ve included a timetable below, so please take a look through this, and once you’re ready to book, please just follow this link. At the time of booking, we will require a 20% discount (refundable up until 14/08/17, when full payment will need to be made.)
If you have any more questions about any aspect of the summer school, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We can’t wait to make music with you this summer!
Kind regards,
