Introducing Classical Music’s Summer Schools Guide 2025! This year’s guide presents a round-up of summer schools delivering exciting learning opportunities across the globe, helping musicians of all ages, teachers, parents, and arts administrators stay up to date on the courses taking place this summer across the UK and beyond.

 

Claire Roberts, a former choral summer course participant, meets some exceptional pastoral care professionals to find out how they support residential students dealing with the anxiety of being away from home, creating a safe environment for young people to fully be themselves.

 

We also take a trip to Manchester to shine a light on Chetham’s International Piano Summer School, looking at how the school combines a welcoming atmosphere with high-quality tuition. 

 

Plus, a look at how The Music Summer School and Festival pulled together to navigate its move from Devon’s Dartington Estate to Norfolk’s Gresham’s School.
