Instrument courses and workshops

Throughout the year there are courses and workshops that invite some of the world’s leading musicians to give master classes and perform giving students the opportunity to develop their playing techniques.

Guitar workshops

Currently there are two Saturday morning guitar workshops in Leatherhead and Woking which are a group collaboration for young musicians wanting to learn the guitar and create music.
