​
Update: After much deliberation we have taken the sad decision to delay restarting the course. This is due to a threefold increase in the price of our accommodation as well as spiralling food costs and the weak pound against the euro. We really hope to be back once things settle - keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.

In the meantime... Andrea is running a UK based flute weekend retreat at the end of April - see details below and contact her direct to book your space.

A FUN AND FRIENDLY WEEK OF FLUTE PLAYING IN THE FRENCH ALPS, ​WHERE THE FOCUS IS ON ​LEARNING THROUGH ENJOYMENT

We welcome flautists of all ages. Applicants should be minimum Grade 4 standard through to Diploma. The course will encourage and inspire developing flautists in a relaxed environment where the emphasis is based on success through enjoyment. It won’t all be work... there will be plenty of time to relax and enjoy the spectacular alpine scenery. Set in France’s magical Haute-Savoie, our tutor Andrea Kuypers will lead a week of workshops, masterclasses, ensembles and informal performances.  ​
