The Course
French Horn Summer School is a friendly and welcoming course, where students gain valuable experience developing advanced orchestral skills and learning how to play in a section. As well as orchestral repertoire, we explore a wide range of horn ensemble music. Having a maximum number of twelve students on the course allows for plenty of valuable individual attention from our knowledgeable tutors, Peter Widgery and Simon de Souza.
