The Wessex Band Summer School

Tue 4 March 2025

The Wessex Band Summer School is a week long summer course for brass, wind and percussion players of all levels and abilities. Under the expert direction of Musical Director Michael Fowles and the internationally renowned musical staff, students are given the chance to test themselves playing a wide and exciting range of music whilst having fun and making new friends.

The non-residential course is held at Sturminster Newton High School in the beautiful North Dorset countryside. Students are able to camp on-site, while some choose to stay in one of the many guest houses or hotels in the area. Camping, which is run by the Wessex Camping Committee fosters a sense of community on the course.
