Holywell Diary..

To read a diary written by a member of the Holywell String Quartet,  music students from Oxford University, click on the link below.

The diary gives a very good insight into the form and structure of each course.

News

During the past 12 months, we have received students from the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, China, Australia and the USA.

Some students want a period of concentrated tuition without the pressures of preparing for a finale concert, others are interested in preparing for a concert mixed with relaxation around the pool  and good home made food.

We can design a programme to your requirements but when studying, you will be working very hard.

Comments from past students

“It was really useful to have that kind of intensive coaching: even within a few days we’d improved so much and made a totally different sound....

“we all learnt so much and had such fun”

“We never had much outside advice in the past, so intense coaching for a week made a world of difference.”

“i just thought i'd send a quick email to say a huge thank you for all the help you gave us. Since we've come back we've raised our game so much and we talk about colours all the time!!! Everyone's commented on how much we've improved and how we now sound like a quartet rather than four individual players. I had a really great time....... Please say a huge thank you to Sarah as well for looking after us so well and cooking so much AMAZING food! “

All courses for 2008 are full.
