What Is It?
PFMC+ offers a chance for young musicians to get outdoors in an independent, and peaceful setting. Innovative teaching ideas that have an emphasis on playing for FUN whilst continually developing confidence, skills and musicianship. Incredible, genre-crossing teachers from the US, Ireland and the UK, have been brought together by our music director, Sally Anne Anderson, to create a tailor-made course for all our young players.
Where Is It?
Just south of Darlington on the River Tees, PFMC takes place in a huge walled garden, surrounded by private parkland, woodland and river banks, all of which we will make the most of during the week. The site as a whole is owned and hosted by the inspirational and resourceful team at we-are-wild.co.uk
The nearest train station is Darlington, and many of our campers come by train ready for a week of camp fires, music and starry nights,
