A very warm welcome to the Temple Dinsley Summer School website. It is my great pleasure to be the Course Director of this 'action-packed'
Suzuki Summer Event. The children adore their few days with us and
they learn more about playing their instrument and about 'music making'
in a wide sense in these few days as in the rest of the year !
Temple Dinsley is a vibrant and activity-filled 4 day Suzuki Camp set in the sanctuary of a mixed boarding school within the rolling hills of the Chilterns.
The course is open to children (and their parents) from the age of 3 who play string instruments or piano and learn with a Suzuki Teacher.
The Course this year is a very special one - we shall be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Temple Dinsley, the longest running Suzuki residential course in Europe. Do come and join us this coming August to celebrate with other parents children, founder Elisabeth Waterhouse and some of the most talented and committed Suzuki teachers.
In addition to individual and group tuition, the course offers organised games, creative arts, Dalcroze, orchestra, improvisation, singing, sport facilities and a large indoor swimming pool. For parents we provide inspirational talks and organised music making in the evenings.
Accommodation is either in one of the boarding houses or the more adventurous can bring a tent and enjoy the wonderful views over the southern Chilterns.
The course is often fully booked by the end of May, so we would recommend early booking. The 2024 dates are Sunday 11th to Wednesday 14th August. If you have any questions do please feel free to contact us.
