Wells Cathedral School’s reputation as a leading specialist music school does not let up in the holidays. The school has continued to be the market leader for providing specialist holiday music courses for over six years. It offers a wide selection of music courses aimed at young musicians aged from 8  to 18 years old, for all levels. All courses are open to UK and international pupils.

The school offers a selection of courses from piano, jazz and composition to vocal and chamber music. In addition, the Easter 2024 workshop offers a brand new course for complete beginners up to grade 3 in Wind, Brass and Percussion.

The school welcomes pupils to come and expand their musical knowledge, enjoy the workshops on offer and try lots of different instruments. During the week there will also be time to enjoy all the other activities that the school has to offer including swimming, film nights, Easter egg hunts and games in the gardens.

Fun, engagement and exploration are the leading themes of all the courses and the staff will ensure pupils have the very best experience. All courses can be attended either daily or there is the opportunity to board in one of the beautiful boarding houses with cosy bedrooms, extensive gardens and large communal areas.
