"It is hard to explain the great impact Musicworks has had and continues to have on my musical life. Chamber music is something that I hugely enjoy as it enables me to communicate my musical ideas with others and I have met some of my best friends through Musicworks. Musicworks also gives me and other people my age the rare and fantastic opportunity to work with real professional musicians who are absolutely inspirational and particularly good at working with people of my age. I strongly believe that Musicworks inspires its attendants to strive for the very best in terms of their performances and the final products of the course are always of an extremely high standard. I truly, believe that Musicworks is the most enriching experience and a real highlight of my whole year."




"Over the course of this programme, I have received and benefited from some of the finest chamber music coaching available to young musicians like myself. Ensemble skills such as playing as part of a group, interpretation and the general understanding of music, presentation and improvisation skills are just some the key things which have developed and contributed to my general musical progress as a result of this course. "



"The balance of intense chamber music studies with other activities was well made. Improvising sessions were particularly enjoyable for me and I was astonished at some of the material that we as groups were capable of producing by just improvising. I also enjoyed the wide variety of leisure activities that were available to us.  

I also enjoyed the company of many fine, able, young musicians in a very friendly and sociable atmosphere, yet maintaining the intensity and passion for chamber music. The week and a half were very enjoyable, and being able to get together with such people together with the specialist staff to explore some of the most marvellous music written, has been an invaluable experience for me."
