What Is It?
PFMC+ offers a chance for young musicians to get outdoors in an independent, screen-free 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 brilliant music director, Sally Anne Anderson, to create a tailor-made course for these young players to give them a meaningful experience.
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 wonderfully inspirational and resourceful Clarey and Barney, of www.we-are-wild.co.uk
The nearest train station is Darlington. and many of our campers come by train whether from the North or the South!
