They offer tuition, advice and performance opportunities and have been designed so that the mystery of music can be unfolded clearly and comprehensibly. The Summer School offers a wide range of specialist courses. Please bear in mind that some are by application only, places are limited and selection has to be made in advance. However, it is possible for all Summer School members to attend open sessions as observers. Each day a timetable of the following day's events will be posted on the main notice board.
Every effort is made to avoid clashes between courses of a similar interest.
It will, for example, be possible to attend a piano masterclass in the morning and piano workshop in the afternoon. Several courses are particularly suitable for family participation. They include West African Drumming, Balinese Gamelan, and African and Gospel Choir. Detailed information can be found in the Dartington Arts brochure and tickets can be bought at the Box Office. The Barn Theatre doubles as a regional Film Theatre with screenings every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at 8pm.
