In 1988 a small Summer School was run alongside the concerts which provided chamber music coaching for pianists and string players.
The Summer School offers young and up and coming music students an opportunity to study with leading professionals.
A team of internationally renowned musicians and tutors, led by Artistic Director Iwan Teifion Davies, offers organised, structured chamber music opportunities.
Throughout the week the artists in residence coach ensembles, lead workshops, and give master-classes as well as performing in the Festival concerts.
Courses run included clarinet, saxophone, Jazz/Latin, string, brass, voice, composition, wind octet, flute and practical psychology.
