What the parents and teens enjoyed most:
“I just love the community, and walking the campus and hearing music playing from every direction. That is always the most special thing about Bryanston for me. The complete immersion in music. It is so inspiring and such a sanctuary in today’s world.”
“So many things – the lovely and inspiring teachers; masterclasses; children mixing with children of all ages; the brilliant orchestra concert; children not on screens; the general feeling of positivity, kindness and family; inspiring my children to keep on playing the violin.”
“As a family of 4, after some getting used to reading the timetable and the site plan, I find the program very well run – smooth, good balance of teaching/learning, free time and performance. There was very little hiccup to any logistical element, which is impressive for the scale of the camp!”
“Honestly, I liked everything. This was our third time at LSG Bryanston and we can’t wait to come back next year – already counting the days. Thank you so much for an amazing week!”
“As first-time participants we enjoyed the week immensely! Our Suzuki student started to talk about ‘next year when we MUST go to Bryanston again’ already 2 minutes after leaving the school area the final day. We loved the catering, the schedules, the accommodation, the music, everything.”
“The quality of teaching was excellent. The food was great. The general atmosphere and friendly attitude of everybody amazing. The faculty concerts and extracurricular activities were really great.”
“[The art room is] a real haven for so many of the children, giving them an alternative outlet for their creativity … And it’s also great for the adults – this year I saw a number of parents finding joy in creating something and in helping other children. Including me.”
“The musical experience this year was fantastic for me, I felt like I massively improved and really enjoyed all my classes. Also as with every year I had a great time making friends and catching up with old ones.”
“The organisation was seamless and impressive. The choice of activities (including jazz, Alexander technique, etc.) really made sense. The teachers were engaging and enthusiastic. The games for the children were also fun!”
“The way the workshops were chosen and organised. It made so much sense to start the day with Dalcroze, and have a group class followed by a masterclass and orchestra.”
“It is a pleasure for everyone – and particularly inspiring for the young ones – to see former students who are diligently continuing their study of music.”
“The creative musical vibe and great atmosphere. The wonderful nature, gym and concerts and the fabulous food.”
“The different classes, the venue, the food, the excellent organisation and being immersed in wonderful music.”
“Super well organised, professional high-level teachers, great food… it was just an amazing event!”
“Fantastic music and music teaching in fantastic facilities with great community. For parents, chi kung and choir!”
“Thank you for giving us another wonderful summer memory … it was organised and ran so smoothly – very impressive for this scale.”
“Thank you for these wonderful weeks over the years! They are forever part of our lives as families and people!”
“Welcome atmosphere, friendly people and wonderful music making.”
“Supportive community, quality of teaching, my son being so happy!”
“This week is always one of the highlights of our summers!”
What the children enjoyed most:
“My kids love the experience overall. The getting together with friends they have made over the years is always really special for them. They love the rhythm of the schedule and the whole vibe of being at Bryanston … We are always sad to leave but always leave wanting more, which is the perfect end.”
“Being part of a group of special friends grown together sharing the music experience. Finding some of the same teachers over the years. The longer masterclass session with only two pupils is much better for teenagers. Jazz improvisation and percussion sessions much beloved.”
“[My son] enjoyed his Saturday solo concert performance the most. He found the atmosphere at the concert very supportive and said that ‘the vibes were just really good’.”
“The catering, the music lessons, the teachers, the swimming pool, the art room, the T-shirts, hanging around with the other kids.”
“The ongoing friendship and community. The music lessons (all, but particularly chamber music and orchestra).”
“They loved the masterclass and socialising with other students.”
“Everything! Especially chamber music and chamber orchestra.”
“Enjoyed classes (he said especially theory). Sports (swimming, everything football, tennis etc.). Food.”
“The art room, playing with friends, percussion, private singing lesson, orchestra, swimming pool.”
“[She] also liked the ice cream she got at the end of the concert – great idea!”
“Daughter liked her teachers and made new friends. She also enjoyed swimming.”
“Art room and meeting friends from last year.”
“Making friends with kids and independence.”
“The choir, the swimming pool and masterclass.”
“Masterclasses, orchestras, football. :-)”
