RESIDENTIAL CAMP FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS
(12-16 YEARS)
Musicians on all instruments will spend 6 days together in the Walled Garden at Eryholme, North Yorkshire, set among acres of forest, river and parkland.. A family friendly atmosphere in a gorgeous tended garden helps to create a safe and creative atmosphere for making music and developing friendships. With world class teachers in jazz, percussion, orchestra, chamber and trad music, this is a pressure free, screen free and joyful music course in an immersive and exciting setting.
We now fully booked for our 2024 Camp and are operating a waiting list. If your child is 12 or 13, then it may be that they can attend PFMC this year. Please apply if in doubt and we chat through the options!
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 have been brought together by our brilliant music director, Sally Anne Anderson, from the US, Ireland and the UK, 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 nearest train station is Darlington. and many of our campers come by train - there is a direct train to/from London.
