Residential and Day Courses for Amateur Musicians
Classical, jazz, light music, early music and the rest - Benslow has something to offer all amateur musicians of whatever age or ability. Our year-round programme of residential and day music courses, summer music schools, seminars and concerts, given in a relaxed, friendly and uniquely supportive atmosphere inspires all who come.
Our highly renowned playing and singing courses are complemented by music appreciation courses and by our Saturday Study Afternoons, designed for anyone with any sort of interest in music.
Benslow ILS
Benslow ILS is an associated charity which lends high quality instruments to promising players under the age of 25 who are unable to obtain an instrument suitable to help them progress. You can make a difference to young musicians' lives by donating or lending an instrument to the charity or by making a financial gift.
